Girl Guides (and Girl Scouts) were originally started in the United Kingdom. Girls saw what Lord Baden-Powell was doing with the Boy Scouts and wanted to be Boy Scouts, too. Lord Baden-Powell thought that girls should have their own organization, so he and his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, started an organization for girls which was founded in 1910, and called it Girl Guides.
Juliette Gordon Lowe met Lord Baden-Powell and became interested in Girl Guides, so she started troops near her home in Scotland and also helped start troops in London. She thought that girls in the US would also be interested in being Girl Guides so she started the first troop of American Girl Guides in Savannah, Georgia in 1912. A year later the name was changed to Girl Scouts.
