Juliette Gordon Low

By: Milena Triana

Juliette was born on October 31, 1860 in the old town of 

Savannah, Georgia. Her name was Juliette Magill Kinzie 

Gordon, but everyone just called her Daisy. She has done 

many great things. 

She grew 

up to be a strong, 

independent, and 

outgoing woman 

who is now 

known as the 

founder of 

Girl Scouts. 

Daisy was born during the Civil war. Her mother was 

from the North and her father was from the South. 

Her dad was fighting in the war most of the time and 

she never saw him. They weren’t very 

wealthy. When the 

Yankees took over 

Savannah there 

was a lot of danger 

so Daisy and her 

sisters and mother 

went north to Chicago 

to with her grandparents. 

Daisy lived a better life there. Then when 

Savannah was safe they returned. They had 

lost a lot of their cotton business and the city 

and houses were ruined. 

They still had some 

cotton up north. 

Slowly their house 

started to look like 

before, and her dads 

business slowly grew. 

Some years passed and Daisy was sent to a boarding 

school in Virginia. There she was taught to be a lady. 

Daisy really missed her parents but she didn't complain. 

At the school they were only 

allowed to speak French or 

German. Daisies sister 

passed away some years

 later and her mother was 

very sad. Daisy had to then go 

to finishing school in New York. 

After finishing school she traveled a lot, on one trip to 

England she met a man named William Low, a very 

wealthy man. She fell in love with him. One day she 

woke up with a headache. She went

 to the doctor and they told 

Daisy she had lost her hearing 

in one ear. Then a few years l

ater Daisy married Willie. Daisy 

got an ear infection in the other 

ear and could barely hear out of

 that ear. She found out that she 

couldn't have children. Willie got 

sick and soon died. 

After Willie had died Daisy traveled a lot. On one trip 

she met a man that was the founder of the boy scouts. 

So near Scotland she started her 

own troop they were called the

 Girl Guides. Soon there were 

many troops all over England. 

She wanted to spread the

 Girl Guides to America. 

There she started a new troop, they learned new helpful 

skills. She decided to change Girl Guides to Girl Scouts. 

Scouts spread fast in America, soon almost every girl 

wanted to join. In June of 1913 the National office for 

Girl Scouts opened in Washington DC. The Girl Scouts 

helped and still help people all over. 

Daisy passed away on January 17, 1927. She was buried 

in her Girl Scouts uniform. 

Daisy was a brave woman 

who started something 

wonderful to help girls all

 over the world. Girl Scouts 

still help people in need. 

Many people today still 

remember Daisy.
