Girl Scout Motto
Be Prepared
In the 1947 Girl Scout Handbook, the motto was explained this way: "A Girl Scout is ready to help out wherever she is needed. Willingness to serve is not enough; you must know how to do the job well, even in an emergency." The same holds true today.
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
