Juliette Low Scoot Activity Booklet
Looking for a fun and interactive way to teach your girls about the life and achievements of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts? Look no further than the Juliette Low Scoot Game! This game is a unique twist on the classic "Scoot" format, where girls move from station to station, answering questions about Juliette Low and her impact on the Girl Scout movement.
This game is played just like Simon Says, substituting “Simon” for “Juliette”
This was a game that was played when Juliette was a girl. Make some pancakes, just make sure they are overcooked so they are firm and won’t break. Give each girl a pancake and plate. See how many times your girls can flip the pancake before dropping it.
This is something I did with my troop a few years back. Just like you will sometimes see the first baby born in the new year will win a prize. We did the first baby girl born at our local hospital on October 31st. This child would be sharing Juliette Gordon Lows birthday. We collected baby supplies and made several gift baskets. We also included a Daisy journey book and a cute outfit that said “Future Daisy Girl Scout”. We asked the hospital to let us know who was first born, and ask them if they would be interested in receiving our gift baskets. We ended up with two large baskets and 3 bags full of baby supplies to donate! After the mom and baby came home from the hospital, we made arrangements to take all the baby baskets to their home. The mom was so excited and the girls felt great getting to deliver the gifts to the mom and baby.
Put together bags with everything you need to have a party. Sometimes circumstances prevent people from being able to celebrate their birthdays. A “Birthday in a Bag” kit can help others feel special on their birthdays. Once your kits are made, donate them to local shelters or food pantries. If you are interested in knowing what to put in a birthday bag and see how another troop also earned the Considerate and Caring Petal.
Did you know that Juliette (Daisy) Gordon Low was born on Halloween day in 1860? This SWAP idea celebrates her special day.

These kits are the perfect celebration of Juliette. Juliette forged her own path and lived life to the fullest. She is the perfect role model for girls and scouts everywhere!
Read the story of Juliette to girls. This book tells the amazing, all-true story of the visionary founder.
This activity is great for everyone that wants to learn more about Juliette Gordon Low. The activity includes 15 fun facts about her with 15 corresponding pictures. Cut out all the facts and images and have girls connect the image to the fact and display on a poster board. How much do the girls know about her, see how many they can figure out on their own. Have your girls share this poster with other girls and tell them everything they know about her.

In honor of Juliette Low’s love of tea parties, you can host a mother/daughter tea party, complete with hats, gloves, and teatime etiquette. Serve sandwiches, punch in fancy cups and listen to classical music as you sip!
Create your own bag of trinkets that represent Juliette’s life. This is a great way to teach your girls about Juliette.
This activity is really cool the girls will get to decorate and put together a trunk that they will fill with things all about Juliette.
UPDATE: This product was removed from ETSY however the idea is still great so leaving on here because if you purchase the trunk you can add all the trinkets yourself.

Chorus:
Juliette, Juliette Gordon Low
Founded the Girl Scouts long ago
From Savannah she did roam
But she always called it home
Married a man named Willy Low
And off to England they did go.
There she met Lord Baden-Powell
Starting the Boy Scouts was his goal
When she came back to the USA
She called her cousin right away
She Founded the Girl Scouts in 1912,
Served her country, served it well
(Chorus)
Girl Scouts she came here to start
And I thank her from my heart.
Thank you, thank you,
Daisy Low For starting the Girl Scouts long ago!
