Then on March 12, 1912, Daisy established the first troop of Girl Guides in the United States in her native Savannah. Through her steadfast promotion, the Movement grew rapidly, becoming the Girl Scouts of America in 1913. The organization was incorporated in 1915 with the national headquarters at Washington, D.C., with Daisy serving as president until 1920 when she was bestowed the rightful title of founder.
For fifteen years Daisy devoted her time, energy, and finances to the movement. She elicited major support and contributions from communities all around and was a frequent guest at campfires.
Daisy oversaw the composition of the Girl Scout handbook ‘How girls can help their country’ and in 1919 she was naturally the representative at the first international meeting of Girl Scouts and Guides.
She was instrumental in organizing the world Girl Scout camp in the United States in 1926. Less than a year later, on 17 January, 1927, Juliette Gordon Low died of cancer in Savannah, at the age of 66. She was buried in the uniform representing the organization she founded which to this day continues to change the world.
