GIRL SCOUTS...WHERE THE FUTURE BEGINS

Juliette Gordon Low was born in Savannah, Georgia.  Her Birthplace is now owned by GSUSA and operated as a National Center.  "Daisy" as she was named by her uncle, was born on 31 October 1860.

A delegation of girls from my service unit attended the Idaho Jubilee.
