Girl Scouting exists only to serve girls. Our eighty years of
experience show that girls have unique needs and interests that
are best met in a program designed especially for them, delivered
in an all-girl setting. A great deal of research supports this

which are addressed by organizations designed to meet their
specific needs. It should be noted that Boy Scouts of
America is a totally separate organization from Girl Scoiuts of
the U.S.A.
