The
Girl Scouts of Yorba Linda believe strongly that community
service is one of the cornerstones upon which a successful
Girl Scout program is based.
A commitment to community
service by Girl Scouts began when Juliette Gordon Low
assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia, on March
12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed
that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop
physically, mentally, and spiritually. She set a goal
of bringing girls out of isolated home environments
and into community service.
