Here Come the Girl Scouts! The Amazing All-True Story of Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low and Her Great Adventure
Here Come the Girl Scouts! The Amazing All-True Story of Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low and Her Great Adventure | Shana Corey
6 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
The amazing, all-true story of the first Girl Scouts and their visionary founder. Juliette Gordon Low--Daisy to her friends and family--was not like most girls of the Victorian era. Prim and proper? BOSH! Dainty and delicate? HOW BORING! She loved the outdoors, and she yearned for adventure! Born into a family of pathfinders and pioneers, she too wanted to make a difference in the world--and nothing would stop her. Combining her ancestors passion for service with her own adventurous spirit and her belief that girls could do anything, she founded the Girl Scouts. One hundred years later, they continue to have adventures, do good deeds, and make a difference!

“Other people saw them, though, and cheered. “Here come the Girl Scouts!“ They hugged their daughters and said, “It's about time“.

Even though not all approved of the girl scouts, Daisy chose to continue to be a friend to all and prove them wrong.

Published in 2012, the children's biography tells the story of Juliette Gordon and how she came to be the founder of the national organization- girl scouts. A great book to read to children, tying in history and diversity within the classroom, and empowering girls and influencing boys. Daisy was never like the other “proper“ girls growing up, which lead her on her great journey. A good book for young readers.

As a former Girl Scout it was neat to read how the organization got started in the US.

#AMonthOfSongs Day 16: Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low grew up at a time when ladies “were supposed to be dainty and delicate.” It was fascinating for me to read about the life of a privileged, extremely wealthy woman who can afford to break all the rules and was in a perfect position to defy conventions, and went on to organize the Girl Scouts!

Not book related in the least, but I am so excited I had to share with someone. LoL Today is my daughter's birthday and this was included in her birthday box from Grandma and Poppa back home in the US. 😁😍🤤I can not wait to make these! I wonder though if she'd noticed if I didn't share. What? Huh? Brownies? Your birthday, you say? 🙄🤐😜

Libby1 I must have these in my life! I'm from the US but now live in the U.K. I'll see if I can get someone to send them to me. 😃 7y
monkeygirlsmama @Libby1 I hope you are able. I can't stress enough how much I miss Thin Mints. I always feel a deep sadness in my gut when I see all my friends posting pics of their GS cookies every year. 😂 7y
