At November 1, 2018 Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North Luncheon, Rotarian Gail Scott told us the history of the Girl Scouts. In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded Girl Scouts of the USA.
Born Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon on October 31, 1860, in Savannah, Georgia, “Daisy,” as she was known, descended from a long line of strong and independent women.
A meeting in 1912 with Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts, inspired Juliette to establish Girl Scouts that same year. Telephoning a cousin from her home, she announced, "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!"
Using her innate talent for fundraising and public relations, combined with her vast network of friends and supporters, she led Girl Scouts with passion and determination—ensuring it was, and always would be, an experience that was “girl led.”
Gail, showed the club an old Girl Scout Manual and Uniform, given to her when she was Girl Scout CEO of The Huron Valley Council .
