地方性遗产
您是女童军或童子军吗？您知道这些童军组织源起何处吗？这个组织的最初概念是来自于英国，而美国境内的首批女童子军团体却是始于乔治亚的塞芬拿 (Savannah) ，这个组织的兴起完全是因为一位有远见的女子。
因为想要提供女孩子一个可以踏出家门，参与社区生活及户外活动的机会，黛西 (洛夫人Juliette
"Daisy" Gordon Low) 于1912年3月12日组成了第一批女童军；当洛夫人还在英国时，她曾与男童军及女向导的创办人共
处过，即贝登堡将军 (General
Robert Baden-Powell) 及其姐姐
艾格妮思 (Agnes) ，因而当时洛夫人就想要成立一个女孩子的团体。
洛夫人将这个想法带回美国并创办了美国女童军 (Girl
Guides of America) ，这个组织刚开始时只有18位成员，她们与
自然学家定期会面并进行自然之旅、利用营火烹煮食物及进行其他的童子军活动；洛夫人把时间及精力都花在这个组织上面，她曾以$8,000的价格卖掉了一串罕见的珍珠项炼以用来支付组织刚起步时的花费；到了现在，洛夫人于塞芬拿的出生地已化身为一座博物馆，民众可入内参观，馆
内收藏t着早期女童军的相关资料。

Are you a Girl Scout or a Boy Scout? Do you know where the idea for these troops came from? The original idea came from England, but the first Girl Scout group in the United States began in Savannah, Georgia, and all because one woman had a vision.
Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low organized the first group of Girl Scouts on March 12, 1912, because she wanted to give girls the opportunity to get out of the house and get involved in their community and the outdoors. She got the idea of starting a girl's group after spending time in England with General Robert Baden-Powell and his sister Agnes, who had founded the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides.
Low took these ideas back to the U.S. and established the Girl Guides of America. It started out as a group of 18 girls who met regularly with a naturalist to go on nature walks, cook meals over campfires, and do other "scouting" activities. Low was so dedicated to this group that she sold a strand of rare matched pearls for $8,000 to pay for operations in the beginning. Today, Low's birthplace in Savannah is open to the public as a museum and contains information about the early Girl Scouts.
