Once a Girl Scout. Always a Girl Scout.
The 1912 Society is Girl Scouts of Central Maryland’s monthly giving community for Girl Scout alumnae and supporters who believe in passing on the power of the Girl Scout experience.
What is the 1912 Society?
Founded in honor of 1912, the year Juliette Gordon Low started Girl Scouts, the 1912 Society brings together alumnae and champions who understand firsthand the life-changing impact of Girl Scouts.
As a member, your monthly gift provides steady, reliable support that ensures today’s girls have access to the same leadership opportunities, confidence-building experiences, and sense of belonging that shaped your own journey.
Whether you were a Daisy, a Gold Award Girl Scout, a camp counselor, or a lifelong volunteer — this is your invitation to stay connected and give back.
Why Alumnae Give
Girl Scout alumni know the impact doesn’t end with a sash or vest.
Your monthly support helps ensure girls today can:
- Discover their strengths and leadership potential
- Build confidence through hands-on experiences
- Access programs regardless of financial barriers
- Explore the outdoors, STEM, entrepreneurship, and community service
- Grow into bold leaders prepared to change the world
You lived the experience. Now you sustain it.
Why Monthly Giving Matters
Monthly gifts provide GSCM with the flexibility and stability needed to respond to girls’ needs in real time.
A gift of $19.12/month:
- Reflects our founding year
- Makes giving accessible and meaningful
- Creates year-round impact rather than one-time support
Recurring support allows Girl Scouts of Central Maryland to plan confidently, expand access, and invest in innovative programming that reaches more girls across our region.
Levels of Giving
Every level creates meaningful, lasting impact.
"Girl Scouts was the center of my social existence. I was a Girl Scout from Brownies to Senior [Girl] Scouts. Earning badges helped me set goals, understand the steps, accomplish them, and be rewarded. It was great business training." — Charlotte Otto, Proctor & Gamble's first female corporate officer
