Juliette Gordon Low to Receive Honor
Last week the White House announced that President Obama will posthumously award Juliette Gordon Low the Presidental Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States. The award recognizes individuals who have made an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.
"Juliette Gordon Low was a visionary, whose legacy lives on in the 59 million American women who have been part of Girl Scouting at somepoint in their lives,"
said Anna Maria Chavez, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA. It is so fitting that on our 100th anniversary, she should be honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom."
Congratulations to our founder, Juliette Gordon Low!
