January 2014 - Juliette Low - Club Cocktail

Juliette Gordon Low

Juliette Gordon Low, the creator of Girl Scouts of America, was born in Savannah, Georgia on October 31, 1860.

In her early adulthood, Low suffered from chronic ear infections in one of her ears, causing her to lose hearing in that ear.  Low became completely deaf on her wedding day, December 21, 1886, when a piece of good-luck rice that was thrown at the reception got lodged in her ear, punctured her ear drum, caused an infection, and ultimately left her deaf in the second ear.

Low founded the Girl Scouts of America in 1912.  She had spent most of her adult life looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of young people.  Girl Scouts of America started with 18 young women in Savannah, Georgia and has now grown to over 3 million members nationwide.
