Juliette Gordon Low 
(October 31, 1860 – January 17, 1927)

Juliette Gordon Low was the founder of Girl Scouts
of the USA. Inspired by the work of Lord Baden-Powell,
founder of Scout Movement, she joined the Girl Guide
movement in England, forming her own group of Girl
Guides there in 1911.

In 1912 she returned to the States, and the same year
established the first U.S. Girl Guide troop in Savannah,
Georgia. In 1915, the United States’ Girl Guides became
known as the Girl Scouts, and Juliette Gordon Low was
fhe first ever leader. She remained active until the time
of her death.
