Mission Statement
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through enriching experiences, such as field trips, sports clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong. Girl Scouting helps girls discover their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.
About This Cause
Our national organization, Girl Scouts of the USA, was founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low. Juliette was a visionary who established an organization that, for 100 years, has created opportunities for girls to become leaders in their own lives, in the community, and in the world. Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana was organized as Raintree Council on September 10, 1957. In March 1958, Girl Scouts of the USA officially chartered it to provide Girl Scout programming in Vanderburgh, Warrick, Spencer, Perry, Posey, and Gibson Counties. In November 1961, White County, Illinois, joined Raintree Council. In September 1962, the council extended its jurisdiction, adding Martin, Pike, Daviess, and Dubois Counties in Indiana. In 2007, White County, Illinois transferred to Shagbark Council, and in 2008, Knox County, in Indiana, was added to Raintree Council. In June, 2010, Raintree Council's corporate name was changed to Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana. Our mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Our council, Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana or GSSI, serves close to 5,000 girls and 1,500 adult members in eleven counties in southwest Indiana. GSSI is the leading organization for leadership development of girls, grades K to 12, in the 11 counties of southwest Indiana that GSSI serves.
