Girl Scout News

October is the month when Girl
Scouts all over the United States
of America celebrate in some way
The birthday of Juliette Low, the
founder of the Girl Scouts in this
country. She was born Daisy Cor
don in Savannah, Georgia in 1860.
She loved animals and had great
talent as a sculptor and painter.
AT the age of twenty-five, she
married William Low and made her
Aome in England and Scotland
There Juliette Low met Sir Rorbert
(later Lord) and Agnes Baden
Powell, who soon interested her in
the newly organized Girl Guides.
She became leader of a Guide
Company in small village in Scot
land where she taught them to
raise poultry, spin and weave.
When Juliette returned to the
United States in 1912, she imme-
diately telephoned to her good
friend, Nina Pape, who ran a
school for girls. She said to her
friend: Come right over, Nina;
I've got something for the girls of
Savannah and all America, and all
the world, and we are going to
start it tonight" Following this, a
meeting was held with a group of
girls from the school, On March
~, 1912, the first Girl Guide Com
pany was organized In 1913, the
name was changed to Girl Scouts.
The uniform of the first troop was
blue and the first Girl Scout Hand
book was called How Girls can
help their Country"
The story of the Girl Scouts dur
ing the early years is. the story ef
the tireless energy and enthusiasm
of one woman-Juliette Low. She
was handicapped by i'll health and
almost total deafness, but nothing
could stop her.
Wherever she went, she started
Girl Scout troops. She Travelled all
over the United States sharing her
idea with others. For four years
Juliette Low financed Girl Scout
ing herself. She was not wealthy,
but found the money that was
needed when it meant selling trea-
sured heirlooms.
I, BY the end of 1915, there were
five thousand Girl Scouts. I'll { or
ganization had a national council,
a constitution and bylaws and a
charter. Mrs. Low became the first
president. Girl Scouts became
known for their services during the
First World War
Today, the Girl Scouts wear
green and there are five thousand
girl Scouts in this area alone. The
handbook is no longer called How
Girls can help their Country, but
the aims and purposes are still as
noble. The aim of the Girl Scouts
is to inspire girls with the highest
ideals OF character, conduct, pa
triotism and service tnat they may
become happy. &nd resourceful.E
citizens.
