She wanted to give girls the opportunity to get out of the house and help their community. Girl Scouts of the USA started with 18 members. Today, there are about 2.5 million girl and adult members worldwide. The girls work on a variety of projects. Simple projects may involve sewing, or collecting toys for kids who live in shelters. Other community services for older girls includes volunteering at a soup kitchen, planting trees, doing car washes or cleaning up litter in their community. Girl Scouts is famous for raising money by selling delicious Girl Scout cookies. The girls bake cookies at home with their mums volunteering as an advisor.
