Originally, in 1912, Juliette Low gathered 18 girls and called the troop American Girl Guides. One year later the name was changed to Girl Scouts of America.

In 1915, the organization was incorporated as Girl Scouts, Inc. under the laws of the District of Columbia. In 1950, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) was re-incorporated under a Congressional Charter.

Juliette Gordon Low also helped start Girl Guide troops in Scotland and England and was instrumental in getting the international organization, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), started.
