Today, we celebrate Girl Scout Founder’s Day, a special occasion dedicated to honoring Juliette Gordon Low, the visionary founder of the Girl Scouts. Born on October 31, 1860, in Savannah, Georgia, Low dedicated her life to empowering girls and young women through outdoor adventures, skill-building, and community service. Her belief in fostering courage, confidence, and character continues to inspire generations of Girl Scouts around the world.
Juliette Gordon Low’s Vision
Juliette Gordon Low’s vision for the Girl Scouts was revolutionary. She aimed to create a space where girls could develop leadership skills, form lasting friendships, and engage in activities that build self-esteem. Low understood that girls deserved the same opportunities as boys to learn, grow, and explore their interests. With a focus on outdoor experiences and community involvement, she laid the groundwork for an organization that empowers girls to make a difference in their communities and beyond.
Her legacy is a testament to the power of girls supporting girls and the importance of fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. Today, her vision lives on in the hearts of millions of Girl Scouts who embrace the values of teamwork, adventure, and community service.
