Juliette Gordon Low had met Lord Baden-Powell, the man who started the Scouting Movement. Juliette helped start Girl Guide troops in Scotland and London, England and decided that the girls in America also needed to know about the Girl Guide organization.

Juliette felt that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually and that the Girl Guide program was a good way to bring those opportunities to the girls of the USA.
