Juliette Gordon Low founder of Girl Scout: In Her Own Words:

“It is of paramount importance to teach the young citizen to assume responsibility for her own development and health.”Juliette believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air, Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars, and studied first aid.

Juliette Low devoted her life to the success of the Girl Scouts, even selling a strand of pearls for $8,000 to fund the early operations of the movement. Now you can carry on her dream by donating during the 100th anniversary.
