Born at the start of the Civil War, Juliette Gordon Low grew up in Georgia, where she struggled to reconcile being a good Southern belle with her desire to run barefoot through the fields. Deafened by an accident, "Daisy" married a dashing British aristocrat and moved to England. But she was ultimately betrayed by her husband and dissatisfied by the aimlessness of privileged life. Her search for a greater purpose ended when she met Robert Baden-Powell, war hero, adventurer, and founder of the Boy Scouts. Captivated with his program, Daisy aimed to instill the same useful skills and moral values in young girls, with an emphasis on fun. She imported the Boy Scouts' sister organization, the Girl Guides, to Savannah in 1912. Rechristened the Girl Scouts, it grew rapidly because of her unquenchable determination and energetic, charismatic leadership. In this biography, the author paints a dynamic portrait of an intriguing woman and a true pioneer whose work touched the lives of millions of girls and women around the world.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 369.46309 Low Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 369.46309 Low Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Low Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 369.46309 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList
