Girl Scouts of America (GSA) was founded in 1910 in Des Moines, Iowa by Clara Lisetor-Lane. GSA's growth was limited by a lack of financial resources and social connections which led to its eventual demise. It never grew beyond a few troops.

Juliette Gordon Low organized the first American Girl Guide troop meeting in the USA on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia. In 1913, the organization officially became Girl Scouts of the US (GSUS). In 1947 the named changed to Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), and in 1950, GSUSA was given a congressional charter. Thus, Juliette Gordon Low is the founder of GSUSA.
