Join us for a dramatic portrayal of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA, performed by Betsey Means.
A wealthy socialite of the United States and Great Britain, Juliette Gordon Low spent most of her life enjoying the recreations of the privileged classes. After meeting the founder of the Boy Scouts, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, she discovered a social cause to which she would devote the rest of her life. An enthusiastic organizer and fundraiser, she led the formation of the Girl Scouts of the USA in 1912. By the time of her death in 1927, the Girl Scouts had become a successful national organization with thousands of members. This dramatic portrayal will be performed by Betsey Means of WomenLore.
