Juliette Gordon Low started her first Girl Guide troop at her home in Glenlyon, Scotland. She then went to London, England, and started two more Girl Guide troops there. Juliette then returned to the USA and started an American Girl Guide troop in Savannah, Georgia in 1912. In 1913, the name was changed to American Girl Scouts. So, Juliette directly started four Girl Guide troops. After she started the troop in Savannah, Juliette surely had a hand in starting many more troops!
It is impossible to give a specific answer to this question. Before Lord Baden-Powell started the Girl Guide organization, there were many Girl Guide/Girl Scout troops already started.
Many Girl Scout and Girl Guide troops were being started in 1913, all over the world, and there wasn't any international organization that would keep records on the number of members or number of troops. There were very few national organizations at that time, also.
Girl Scouts of the USA sell Girl Scout Cookies. Girl Guides of Canada sell Girl Guide Cookies. Girl Guides Australia sell Girl Guide Biscuits (cookies).
There really is no different name for leaders of different levels of Girl Scouts, they're all just called "Leaders". In addition: In many countries, the Brownie Girl Guide troop leader is called "Brown Owl" after the Wise Old Owl in "The Brownie Story" who helped the girl find the brownie (herself). Girl Guide leaders are also called "Guiders".
The first Girl Guide troops were started in the United Kingdom in 1910. The first Girl Scout meeting in the USA was held on March 12, 1912. The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) is celebrating 100 years of international Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting during three years, 2010 to 2012 because many countries founded Girl Scouting and Guiding in the years 1910 to 1912.
