The Sakartvelos Gogona Skautebis Asociacia 'Dia' (საქართველოს გოგონა სკაუტების ასოციაცია 'დია', 'Girl Scouts of Georgia 'Dia') is the national Girl Scouting organisation of Georgia. It serves 805 members (as of 2006). The girls-only became an associate member of the WAGGGS in 1999.
Dia itself is an ancient Georgian feminine name, referring to the goddess associated in Georgian mythology with the planet Jupiter.
In 1993 due to a majority of boys in the membership, and at the request of the girls' representatives, the parent association was renamed Guides and Scouts Association of the Republic of Georgia. April 19 is the official holiday as the anniversary of the first national Girl Scout conference in 1997. Georgian Girl Scouts have a relationship with the Northwest Georgia Girl Scout Council.
