Juliette Low World Friendship Fund

Donations to the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund are used to support girls' international travel and participation in training and other international events. These unique opportunities for fostering international friendships connect Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from 144 nations.

Donations also support the World Thinking Day Fund, which helps sustain efforts to encourage the development of Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting in new countries.

Juliette Gordon Low had friends around the world and was committed to offering the benefits of Girl Scouting to girls around the globe. To honor Juliette's love of travel, of experiencing different cultures, and of making new friends, Girl Scouts of the USA created the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund (JLWFF) in 1927.

How Do I Give?

Donations may be sent at any time of the year, but popular times are World Thinking Day (February 22), Juliette Low's birthday (October 31), and during Girl Scout Week (the week that includes March 12).

Troop or service unit donations should be sent to local Girl Scout councils rather than to Girl Scouts of the USA. Councils will batch the donations and send them to the fund periodically.

Councils and the general public can make their donations online or send donations to:
