Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts

Born Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon on Oct. 31, 1860, in Savannah, Georgia, “Daisy” founded the Girl Scouts of the United States of America on March 12, 1912. Earlier, she married William MacKay Low, a wealthy Englishman in 1886. She would travel back and forth between the British Isles and the U.S. . A year after the failure of her marriage, she returned to England, where she met Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of England. She became interested in the new youth movement. A year later, she returned to the U.S. and started a group called Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts is the largest educational organization for girls in the U.S.
Earlier, in the United States, in 1902 a group called The Woodcraft Indians was started by Ernest Thompson Seton, and in 1905 a group called Sons of Daniel Boone was started by Daniel Carter Beard, and in 1907 Boy Scouts in England was started by Robert Baden-Powell and finally on Feb. 8. 1910 Boy Scouts of America was started by William D. Boyce. Boy Scouts of America is one of the largest youth organizations in the U.S. with over 4 million members.
Juliette Low encouraged girls to continue to prepare for traditional homemaking but also for future roles as professional women in arts, sciences, business and active citizenship outside the home. Girl Scouting welcomed girls with disabilities, illnesses, and handicaps at a time when they were excluded from other activities.
Boy Scout goals are to train youth in responsibility, citizenship, character development, self-reliance through participation in outdoor activities, educational programs, and career oriented programs in partnership with community organizations. Any physically or mentally disabled youth “ may enroll in Scouting and remain in its program beyond the regulation age limits, allowing all members to advance in Scouting as far as they wish.”
Prominent Leaders in various fields of endeavor have credited the skills they learned in Scouting as helping mold them into successful citizens.
