Savannah's Famous Family
The Gordon family made an indelible impact on United States history over the years. From William Washington I, founder of the Central of Georgia Railroad, to his world-famous granddaughter, Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA. They were influential leaders in industry, government, the military and humanitarian organizations.

Discover the fascinating story of how Juliette Gordon Low, multi-talented, quirky and severely hearing impaired, founded the Girl Scouts in 1912 and became one of the most significant American women of her time.

See wonderful examples of Daisy's creative art work throughout her family home. A sculptor not only of clay but also young women's lives. She gave the girls of America and the world the career opportunities, outdoor activities and fun they so desperately needed.

Juliette Gordon Low was almost completely deaf, yet she never let her disability prevent her from accomplishing her goals. As a teenager, Daisy formed her first organization, Helping Hands, and made clothing for the poor.

The first official Girl Guide meeting in the United States was held on March 12, 1912. In developing the Girl Scout movement in the United States, Juliette Low brought girls of all backgrounds into the out-of-doors, giving them the opportunity to develop self-reliance and resourcefulness. She encouraged girls to prepare not only for traditional homemaking, but also for possible future roles as professional women in the arts, sciences and business and for active citizenship outside the home.

Girl Scouting welcomed girls with disabilities at a time when they were excluded from many other activities. This idea seemed quite natural to Daisy, who never let deafness, back problems or cancer keep her from full participation in life.

From the original 18 girls, Girl Scouting has grown to nearly four million members. Girl Scouts is the largest educational organization for girls in the world and has influenced the more than 50 million girls, women and men who have belonged to it.

After her death from breast cancer in 1927, her friends honored her by establishing the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund, which finances international projects for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world. Juliette Gordon Low died at her Savannah home on Lafayette Square January 17, 1927. She is buried at Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah in her Girl Scout uniform. In her pocket she has a telegram from the National Board of Girl Scouts of the USA, "You are not only the first Girl Scout, you are the best Girl Scout of them all".
