Girl Scout founder, Juliette Low, was born on October 31, 1860 in Savannah, Georgia. A year after meeting the founder of the Boy Scouts of America (Sir Robert Baden Powell), Juliette made her historic telephone call to a friend (a distant cousin), saying, "I've got something for the girls of Savannah, and all of America, and all the world, and we're going to start it tonight!" On March 12, 1912, Juliette Low gathered 18 girls to register the first troop of American Girl Guides. A year later, the name of the organization was changed to The Girl Scouts.
From the original 18 girls, Girl Scouting has grown to 3.7 million members. Girl Scouts is the largest educational organization for girls in the world and has influenced the more than 50 million girls, women and men who have belonged to it. Troop #3027 is proud to be a part of this inspiring organization! For more information about Juliette "Daisy" Gordon-Low, click here.
