Best Answer

Girl Guides

Juliette Gordon Low organized the first American Girl Guide troop meeting in the USA on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia. A year later, the name was changed to Girl Scouts.

Robert Baden-Powell chose the name "Girl Guides" and thought that an organization for girls should be run by women so he asked his elder sister, Agnes, to help and, in 1910, the Girl Guide movement was formally founded.
