Current view of house that

Daisy was born in.

• Juliette (Daisy) was born on

October 31, 1960 in Savannah, GA.

• As a child, she was known as

“Hurricane Daisy” thanks to her never-ending

schemes and ideas

• At the age of 25, when suffering from her chronic ear aches,

Daisy asked her doctor to try out a new

treatment. But even when the doctor refused, she was

stubborn about the whole situation. He

treated her by injecting her with silver nitrate.

As a result, a prolonged illness occurred and she lost most of her hearing in that ear.

Mackay Low.

• In a freakish accident, a grain of the “good luck

rice” lodged in her good ear.

• Soon after, William’s father

died, and the Low’s became very rich. William was found

to have many infidelities.

• By 1903, William was pressing for a divorce in order to marry his mistress.

• In 1905, Daisy agreed to the divorce, but William died before it was finalized.

Daisy’s handbook • Daisy wrote and published her first

handbook• The handbook included instruction on

camping, telegraphing, shooting, exercise and self improvement.

enough so that she had to sell her pearls to gain

enough money to continue running it

• Her family encouraged

her to do fundraisers

instead

The girl scout world camp

• Daisy resigned as president, and looked over her creation of the

world wide organization.

• She asked to create a world camp for the

girl scouts, and in May 1926, 456 people from 30 countries

attended the meeting to discuss ideas and

hopes.

The outcome of Daisy’s funeral • Daisy was

secretly battling

breast cancer. She died on January 17,

and her funeral was attended by thousands of

her girl scouts.• She was buried with a note that read: “You are not

only the first girl scout, but the best girl scout of them all”

• Although she was deaf in one ear and the other was damaged,

Daisy never lost her sense of humor and

positive outlook on life. In fact,

every time someone tried to tell her no, she pretended she couldn’t hear

them.

• Daisy contributed to the deaf society by proving that even though hearing is

important, it should not contain you from doing what you want to do.

• She changed so many girls’ lives, hearing and deaf, so much in fact

that she eventually

became the eighth woman
