- Photographic print; newspaper caption attached to verso of print: "Staff Photo -- Chuck Vollertsen. Juliette Lowe [sic] Honored. Gov. Jimmy Carter helps unveil a bronze bust of Mrs. Juliette Gordon Lowe, founder of the Girl Scouts of America in the Georgia Capitol Rotunda. More than 500 Girl Scouts attended the ceremony at which the governor described Mrs. Lowe, a native of Savannah, as a woman of 'extraordinary characters.' [sic] Carter said Georgia 'is proud of Juliette Lowe, of what her life has meant, of the dreams she brought into being.' Mrs. Lowe, born in Savannah Oct. 31, 1860, founded the nation's first Girl Scout troop in Savannah on March 12, 1912; the troop had 18 members. More than 32 million girls have participated in the program since then. The first woman to be enshrined in the Georgia Hall of Fame was Margaret Mitchell, author of 'Gone with the Wind.'"
