Girl Scout Positioning Statement

Girl Scouts is the world’s preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls, where in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adults, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives - like strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.

In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together; and through the many enriching experiences provided by the Girl Scouts they can grow courageous and strong.

Proper Use of the Girl Scout Logo

The Girl Scout Service Mark is composed of two parts: the symbol (the trefoil with three profiles) and the logotype (the words “Girl Scouts”, along with the registration mark.) Both parts of the service mark must be used together. Figure 1 is the preferred service mark, but when space limitations dictate, the “stacked” version of the service mark can be used (figure 2).

Color treatment:

Girl Scout green is preferred; however other bold colors are acceptable. A two-color combination can be used. The logo must appear in Girl Scout Green and the words “Girl Scouts” must appear in Girl Scout blue.

Configuration:

The Service Mark may never be redrawn, reproportioned or modified in any way. The logotype must always be in the same proportion to the symbol. A computer generated or artist’s rendering of the service mark is not acceptable. Pulling the symbol apart from the logotype and using it as a design element is not acceptable.

Trademark:

A SM aligned with the baseline of the “S” of Girl Scouts should appear on all reproductions of the Service Mark.

Figures 3 and 4 demonstrate the preferred reverse usage of the service mark.
