Juliette Gordon Low did not have a specific Basketball team. At the time she began Girl Scouting in the US, girls were not allowed to play basketball in public. Girl Scouts had to play on a basketball court that was surrounded by curtains so that people passing by could not see the girls playing basketball. Girl Scouts played basketball as part of their troop activities.
After Juliette Gordon Low returned to England, Edith Johnston took Juliette's place and it was Edith's idea to organize a basketball league and tournament for the Girl Scouts.
