Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts more than 102 years ago to develop girls into leaders.
“We are excited about our new Juliette Gordon Low Leadership Award,” said Pamela I. Anderson, CEO. “We know that once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout, and we want to honor the young alumnae who go on to do amazing things. It is also a great way for our young alumnae to reconnect with Girl Scouts and become part of the 59 million women who are alumnae across the country and throughout the world. We want to get as many nominations as we can from young women who fit the criteria.”
