The Girl Scouts font is Trefoil, a custom typeface made for Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). It appears on council and marketing materials, but it is not open to the public. If you want a similar look, Vegur Bold is the closest match we found.
About the Girl Scouts font
Trefoil Sans is a sans-serif font developed exclusively for Girl Scouts. Neil Summerour of Positype designed it. Trefoil Slab is another member of the family, and both are only part of a larger group of typefaces made for the organization.
Volunteers can use Trefoil in graphics and templates. Approved council vendors use it on products and merchandise. Because the font stays within the organization, it is not available as a public download. For brand information, see the United States Girl Scout brand center.
Since Trefoil is not public, the closest match we found is Vegur Bold. The image below compares the Girl Scout logo with Vegur Bold.

About Vegur Bold
Vegur is a sans-serif family with a simple, modern look. Bold is the heavy weight, and it works well for titles, posters and short headlines. The font tester below also shows Regular and Light, so you can compare all three.
The download page lists Vegur Bold as free for commercial use. Still, read the license file in the download before you use the font on a product or in paid work.
Girl Scouts logo and history

Girl Scouts is a youth organization founded in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low. She was inspired by Robert Baden-Powell’s Scouting movement in Britain. The program gives girls a way to learn outdoor skills, serve their communities and build leadership.
The logo has changed over time. The emblem most people know dates from 1978 and was designed by Saul Bass. It uses a trefoil shape as its base, with three profiles of girls facing forward.

How to use the Girl Scouts font
Trefoil is not public, so these steps use Vegur Bold. On Windows, download the font file, right-click it and choose Install. On a Mac, double-click the file and select Install Font in Font Book. Restart your design app if the font does not appear in its list.
In Canva, open the font menu first. If Vegur Bold is not there and your plan allows uploads, upload the file. If not, type your text in a desktop program, save it as a PNG and place that image in Canva.
Be careful with logos. A look-alike font is fine for a club flyer or a bake sale sign. Do not use it to copy the official Girl Scouts logo or to suggest that the organization made your design.
