What year did Girl Scouts begin?

Robert Baden-Powell thought that girls should have their own organizations so he chose the name "Girl Guides" and thought that an organization for girls should be run by women so he asked his elder sister, Agnes, to help and, in 1910, the Girl Guide movement was formally founded.

Juliette Gordon Low organized the first American Girl Guide troop meeting in the USA on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia. A year later, the name was changed to Girl Scouts of the United States (GSUS), and, in 1915, was changed to Girl Scouts, Inc. Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) was chartered by the U.S. Congress on March 16, 1950.
