Diversity, Inclusion, & Equity
Juliette Gordon Low founded Girl Scouts over 100 years ago as an innovative movement where all would be welcomed. At Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, we continuously strive to build a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization that supports the many faces, cultures, and walks of life that proudly make up our vibrant community.
It is essential to our mission that every individual’s ideas and perspectives are sought out, heard, respected, and valued. Together, we empower girls to make the world a better place.

Our Girl Scout Family—members, volunteers, leadership, and staff—make up an amazing tapestry of cultures, perspectives, identities, abilities, and beliefs, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. Girl Scouts strives to be a safe and welcoming space for all girls, families, volunteers, and staff. Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is fully committed to helping our communities and guiding our girls to better understand and celebrate our differences as well as what we share in common. We’ve compiled the lists below as starting resources for learning and dialogue on our journey to make the world a better place.
