Why Juliette Gordon Low was chosen
Low was chosen for founding an organization that has shaped generations of American girls, building Girl Scouting around badges, outdoor skills, and civic engagement decades before most institutions offered comparable programs for girls.
She led the organization for the rest of her life, working to expand it nationally and internationally before her death in 1927, by which point Girl Scouting had grown well beyond its original single troop in Savannah.
