Each year, Girl Scout Week is celebrated in March to coincide with Girl Scouts’ birthday on March 12. Girl Scouts has longstanding traditions of celebrating with faith communities during this week. We do this to share information about Girl Scouts and its benefits, to thank faith partners and adult volunteers for the support they have provided over the past year, and to give girls the opportunity to be recognized in their places of worship as Girl Scouts. Celebrations with faith communities typically include participation in worship services and pre-and/or post-events with the faith community. They can also include community service projects. Partnering with faith communities this week exposes more people in that community to the benefits of Girl Scouts, strengthens relationships with faith leaders and adult volunteers, shows girls how to connect the principles of Girl Scouting to their faith, and builds the Movement’s diversity.
Girl Scouts Celebrate Faith observances can be celebrated by any faith group. In general, Jewish Sabbath (Shabbat) extends from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday, the Christian holy day is Sunday, and the Muslim holy day is Friday. In 2024, the celebration dates for these faith traditions are:
- Girl Scout Sunday (Christian)—Sunday, March 10, 2024
- Girl Scout Jumuah (Muslim)—Friday, March 15, 2024
- Girl Scout Sabbath/Shabbat (Jewish)—Friday/Saturday, March 15–16, 2024
