13 Best Juliette Gordon Low Quotes From The Founder Of The Girl Scouts
Gallery
Juliette Gordon Low is widely known for being the founder of one of the world's largest organizations for girls, the Girl Scouts of the USA.
Juliette's friends and family nicknamed her 'Daisy' at a young age. Due to her caring, yet often reckless antics, she also attained the nickname 'Crazy Daisy'.
Juliette spent a lot of time painting, performing, writing, and pursuing recreational activities as a young child. During her childhood and teenage years, Juliette attended various boarding schools, which moulded her personality as well as her skillset. Juliette was motivated to create the Girl Scouts after she met the founder of the Boy Scouts of America, Sir Robert Baden-Powell.
With her boundless wit and charm, the founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA broke through multiple borders and ceilings and established an organization that allowed young girls to hone their leadership skills and build friendships.
Girl Scouts today are awarded badges for their accomplishments in terms of learning new skills, and then they can go on to win awards. Becoming a Girl Scout is an unforgettable experience for any young girl.
After Juliette Gordon Low's passing in 1927, well-wishers founded the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund, an organization that funds global projects for girl groups around the world.
