Every October 31, Girl Scouts all over the world celebrate the life of their founder Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low, who was born October 31, 1860, in Savannah, Georgia.Low's vision, to see girls blossom into productive and responsible women, led her at age 51 to form the Girl Scouts. What began on March 12, 1912, as a small gathering of 18 girls has flourished into an international movement with 3.7 million girl and adult members, and guaranteed the Girl Scouts its place in history as the preeminent organization for and leading authority on girls.
Juliette would be proud to know her Girl Scouts today are self-reliant, responsible and that they have a heart for community service. Happy Birthday Daisy!
