The name of the organization was changed to Girl Scouts the following year.
In developing the Girl Scout movement in the United States, Juliette brought girls of all backgrounds into the out-of-doors, giving them the opportunity to develop self-reliance and resourcefulness. She encouraged girls to prepare not only for traditional homemaking, but also for possible future roles as professional women in the arts, sciences, business, and for active citizenship outside the home. Girl Scouting welcomed disabled girls at a time when they were excluded from many other activities. This idea seemed quite natural to Juliette.
Juliette Low accumulated admirers and friends of all ages, nationalities and walks of life. After her death from breast cancer in 1927, her friends honored her by establishing the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund, which finances international projects for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world (Moingona Girl Scout Council). Juliette Gordon Low died at her Savannah, Georgia home on Lafayette Square and is buried at Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah.
To be a leader like Juliette Low, there had to be responsibility and leadership skills involved. The art of leadership can be defined in many ways. Most definitions focus on the leader's role of inspiring others to achieve outstanding results. Vince Lombardi defines leadership by, " Coaches who can outline plays on the blackboard are a dime a dozen. The ones who succeed are those who can get inside their players and motivate them" (Manske 28). Peter Senge defines leadership in Conner's book, Leading at the Edge of Chaos: How to Create the Nimble Organization. He says: " It's about helping people make sense of what's going on around them and making people feel that complicated and challenging things can actually be done " (61).
When a corporate leader has vision, he or she has an image or idea of what his or her organization should do in the future and how it should get there.
