The founder of the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A, Juliette Gordon Low was born in Georgia in 1860. Check out the link on the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. website. I had the opportunity to visit and tour her birthplace a few years ago. A wonderful antebellum mansion, there are many artifacts and memorabilia from her life. Called "Daisy" as a child, she is a member of the National Women's Hall of Fame. Daisy and the Girl Scouts by Fern Brown, outlines the life of this famous woman in a biography/story format.
Appropriate independent reading level of grade 4, it is a great book for ages 9-12.
