When they toured the founder’s home their guide was “a remarkably poised and articulate young woman who suffered from a degenerative disease,” said Beth McCourt. “She was in law school, a volunteer for Scouting and an inspira- tion to my daughters.” In 2012, Girl Scouting celebrated 100 years from when Juliette Gor- don Low, then 51 years old, gathered that first group of girls in her home. Charlotte was fascinated. “Her house was so much bigger than I thought it would be,” she said, “and she was a very good artist.” Having been in Scouting since kindergarten at South Mountain School, Charlotte will start seventh grade at South Orange Middle School this fall.
