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.

devastating strategic initiatives in the annals of warfare, on this

On December 16, 1944, the Germans launch the last major
offensive of the war, Operation Autumn Mist, also known
as the Ardennes Offensive and the Battle of the Bulge, an
attempt to push the Allied front line west from northern
France to northwestern Belgium. The Battle of the Bulge,
so-called because the Germans created a “bulge” around
the area of the Ardennes forest in pushing through the
American defensive line, was the largest fought on the
Western front.
