Juliette’s vision. Juliette Gordon Low founded
the Girl Scouts in 1912 with a vision of bringing girls and
young women of all backgrounds together and giving
them the opportunity to develop self-reliance and
resourcefulness.
GSSI shares Juliette’s vision. The Girl Scouts
of Southern Illinois shares Juliette’s vision and our
volunteers, staff and Board of Directors are committed
to providing girls in our communities an outstanding
Girl Scout Leadership Experience that gives them the
courage, confidence and character to make the world
a better place for everyone.
Your Legacy. One of our greatest aspirations in life
is to leave a mark -- to make a difference. You can help
the Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois provide life-changing
services, programs and opportunities for nearly 14,000
girls and 4,800 adult volunteers. You can help GSSI
provide a premier leadership experience for girls -- an
organization that is dynamic, vibrant, and relevant and
meets the needs of our girls. You can help GSSI provide
girls leadership opportunities and challenges for growth
which will have a profound impact on the women they will
be tomorrow -- and the subsequent influence they will
have on their families, their communities, our nation and
the world.
