About GSEIWI

Girl Scouts is the world’s preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls—all girls—where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives, like leadership, strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.

Founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low, Girl Scouts' membership has grown from 18 members in Savannah, Georgia, to 3.4 million members throughout the United States, including U.S. territories, and in more than 90 countries through USA Girl Scouts Overseas.

Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois (GSEIWI) builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls develop leadership, discover themselves and their values, connect to others locally and globally, and take action to make the world a better place.
