March 12, 2012 marked the 100th anniversary of the first Girl Scout Troop meeting. The inaugural meeting consisted of 18 girls led by Girl Scouts founder Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low in her hometown of Savanna, Georgia. Since that time, Girls Scouts has grown to 3.7 million members and is the largest educational organization for girls in the world.

Girls Scouts initially came to the Montgomery area in February of 1921. The first troop was formed at Trinity Presbyterian Church and consisted of 13 girls.
