Girl Scouts has been making a difference in the lives of girls for over 90 years. Just as our membership has grown (from 18 to nearly 4 million!), so has our place in history and our role as innovative and committed advocates for girls everywhere.
The Girl Scouts of the USA headquarters in New York City features a museum, open to the public, curated by the National Historic Preservation Center, and filled with the artifacts and ephemera that tell a story about strength and change. The icons, pamphlets, uniforms, and awards of Girl Scouts provide a unique perspective on the 20th century and help us view Women's and American history in an entirely new way.
The National Historic Preservation Center, 420 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y., is open Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Visitors to the Girl Scout Museum are encouraged to make arrangements in advance. Call (212) 852-8622.
Here's a sampling of items from our museum. Be sure to visit our rotating featured exhibit as well.
