Juliette Gordon Low, founder ofGirl Scouts in the United StatesJuliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., was born October 31, 1860, in Savannah,Georgia, and died there January 17, 1927.Daisy, as she was known to family and friends, was the second of six children of William Gordon andEleanor Kinzie Gordon.A sensitive and talented youngster, Daisy spent a happy childhood in her large Savannah home. YoungDaisy developed what was to become a lifetime interest in the arts. She wrote poems, sketched, wroteand acted in plays and later became a skilled painter and sculptor.On the date of her parent's 29th wedding anniversary, December 21, 1886, Juliette Gordon marriedWilliam Low, a wealthy Englishman. Although the couple sailed to England, Juliette found time tocontinue her travels, dividing her time between the British Isles and America.After her husband's death in 1905, Juliette spent several years drifting without a sense of direction. Allthis changed in 1911 when she met Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts and GirlGuides, and became interested in the new youth movement. One year later she returned to the UnitedStates and made her historic phone call to a friend saying, "I've got something for the girls of Savannah,and all America, and all the world, and we're going to start it tonight." Thus, on March 2, 1912, JulietteLow gathered 18 girls together to organize the first two American Girl Guide troops. Daisy Gordon, herniece, was the first registered member. The name of the organization was changed to Girl Scouts thefollowing year. Juliette even sold her pearl necklace that her husband gave her for a gift to have moneyfor her troop.In developing the Girl Scout movement in the United States, Mrs. Low brought girls of all backgroundsinto the out-of-doors, giving them opportunity to learn about nature and develop self-reliance andresourcefulness. She encouraged girls to prepare themselves not only for traditional homemaking roles,but also for possible future roles as professional women, in the arts, sciences and business, and foractive citizenship outside the home. Disabled girls were welcomed into Girl Scouting at a time when theywere excluded from many other activities. This seemed quite natural to Juliette Low, who never let herown deafness keep her from full participation in life. Juliette had rice thrown in her left ear at herwedding, leaving her deaf in that ear.From an initial 18 girls in 1912, Girl Scouting has grown to nearly 3.3 million in the 1990's. It is theworld's largest voluntary organization for girls and has influenced the lives of more than 50 million girlsand adult women and men who have belonged to Girl Scouts.43
