Book Review - Here Come the Girl Scouts

About the Book
An inspiring picture book biography for Girl Scouts and adventurers of all ages.

Juliette Gordon Low - Daisy to her friends and family - was not like most girls of the Victorian era.
Prim and proper?

BOSH!

Dainty and delicate?

HOW BORING!

Daisy loved the outdoors and yearned for adventure! Born into a family of pathfinders and pioneers, she too wanted to make a difference in the world. And nothing would stop her - not even losing most of her hearing. Combining her ancestors' passion for service with her own adventurous spirit and her belief that girls could do anything, she founded the Girl Scouts. One hundred years later, Girl Scouts continue to experience the outdoors, do good deeds, and make a difference!

My Take on the Book
Juliette Gordon Low was known as Daisy to her family and friends. .She loved the outdoors and wanted to make a difference in the world. She founded the Girl Scouts by combining her ancestors' passions for service with her own adventurous spirit. She believed girls could do anything they decided they could do

This wonderful story tells the history and challenges that Juliette encountered in forming the Girl Scouts.

At the end of the book you will see pictures of famous women who were Girl Scouts: Lucille Ball and Hillary Clinton were two. There are photos of Daisy and her Savannah Girl Scout troop in 1913.

Your young Girl Scout will love this book.
