Design Reveal: Juliette Gordon Low Takes Her Place on the Quarter

Get ready to celebrate because history is in the making! Our very own trailblazer, Juliette Gordon Low, is about to make her mark on American currency. Today, the United States Mint unveiled designs for the final five quarters in its American Women Quarters™ Program, including one honoring Juliette Gordon Low. This special edition quarter will be available in 2025.

What is the American Women Quarters™ Program?

According to the United States Mint: “The American Women Quarters™ Program is a four-year program that celebrates the accomplishments and contributions made by women of the United States. Beginning in 2022, and continuing through 2025, the U.S. Mint will issue up to five new reverse designs each year.” These quarters pay tribute to women from diverse backgrounds who have made their mark on suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, space, the arts, and more. It's a powerful recognition of the incredible impact women have had on our nation's history.

Just think about the trailblazers who've graced these quarters to date: Maya Angelou, Bessie Coleman, Celia Cruz, and Eleanor Roosevelt are just a few examples. Now, Juliette Gordon Low is joining their esteemed company, and we couldn't be prouder. Learn more here.

Why is this important?

The selection of Juliette Gordon Low for this prestigious honor on the national stage serves as a powerful reminder that her visionary spirit and the Movement she founded are beacons of hope for every girl. And today, the world needs Girl Scouts more than ever. Low’s legacy comes to life in every Girl Scout and alum who speaks up for what they believe in, leaves the world better than they found it, and blazes a trail of their very own.

What is the significance of the design?

Let's dive into the design elements and their significance on the new quarter featuring Juliette Gordon Low. The design captures Juliette’s spirit and strength. Juliette is rocking her 1920s Girl Scout uniform, complete with trefoils on her hat, lapels, belt buckle, and pin. Check out the Thanks Badge over her heart—it's the highest adult award in Girl Scouting! And that Silver Fish around her neck? It’s the top honor in UK Girl Guiding, symbolizing swimming upstream and overcoming obstacles. This quarter design is packed with history and Girl Scout pride.

What does the journey to 2025 look like?

Let’s talk about what's on the horizon. With the design of the Juliette Gordon Low quarter unveiled to the public, we’re expecting the limited-quantity quarter to begin circulation in 2025, with collector sets also available for purchase from the Mint in the Spring of 2025.

That gives us plenty of time to get excited, plan celebrations, and reflect on Juliette’s incredible impact on Girl Scouts and the world.

The unveiling of the Juliette Gordon Low quarter design marks a monumental milestone not only for Girl Scouts but for everyone. It's a reminder that the vision and determination of one person can change the course of history. Juliette Gordon Low's journey from trailblazing leader to a face on our nation's currency is a testament to the power of girls and women everywhere.

We invite you to stay connected with us and be part of this historic moment. Don't miss a beat on updates and breaking news from Girl Scouts. Sign up for News from Girl Scouts to stay in the loop.

Let's celebrate Juliette Gordon Low's legacy together as we look ahead to 2025 and beyond! Get the party started today with NEW merchandise featuring the quarter's design available now.

¡Chicas al Poder! Celebrating the Impact of Hispanic Girl Scouts

 

Hispanic Heritage Month is all about recognizing the vibrant cultures and powerful contributions of Hispanic communities. To celebrate, we’re shining a spotlight on some amazing Hispanic Girl Scouts who are turning their passions into positive change. These stories are proof that when corazón (heart) meets action, incredible things happen.

Girl Scout Solana - Elevating Latinx Voices (Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles)

“As a Latina and first-generation American, I have always felt a disconnect when it comes to my culture and the lack of representation in South Pasadena,” shared Solana. Determined to change this, Solana dedicated her Gold Award project, “Gracias a la Vida: Latina Voices of South Pasadena,” to uplifting Latinx stories and voices. Through her project, she created a powerful gallery exhibit at the South Pasadena Library, featuring photographic and biographical portraits of twelve Latinas who have made significant contributions to the community. Solana’s work not only celebrated these women but also ensured their stories would continue to educate and inspire through a dedicated website.


Girl Scout Allison - Recycling for a Better Planet and a Brighter (Girl Scouts of San Jacinto)

Girl Scout Allison from Troop 136351 is making waves with her Girl Scout Bronze Award project, "Recycle and Help the Earth." In her local area, where green recycling bins are lacking, Allison organized a recycling drive and created flyers with recycling tips to educate her community, including the Hispanic community. Her dedication doesn't stop there; for the past three years, she and her family have cleaned a river in their Mexican hometown, collecting bottle caps to donate for free chemotherapy treatments. As Allison shares, "I am not just saving my planet but also saving someone’s life."

Girl Scout Sandra - Creating a Mobile Library (Girl Scouts of Tropical Florida)

Sandra’s journey from Spanish-speaking countries to the United States inspired her Gold Award project, which focused on the importance of preserving cultural heritage. Collaborating with the Mexican Consulate in Miami, Sandra created a mobile library filled with Spanish-language children’s books. This library is a beacon of learning and cultural connection, traveling to local immigrant communities during consulate visits and providing access to books that reflect the children’s heritage. Sandra also worked with a local Mexican Women's Book Club to keep the library stocked and engaged the community through the consulate’s bulletin board and newsletter.

These incredible stories from Solana, Allison, and Sandra highlight the strength and impact of our Hispanic Girl Scouts. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, let's continue to uplift and celebrate these amazing girls. Use #GirlScoutsRock and #HispanicHeritageMonth, tag us at @girlscouts, and let's shine a spotlight on these changemakers who are making the world a better place.

¡A celebrar!

Score Big: Earn Your Athlete Badges with Girl Scouts

We selected a few awesome badges for your Girl Scout to earn as the big games take place in Paris! These badges help girls learn how to be team MVPs by mastering the rules and ensuring everyone has a blast playing together. The best part? They get to embrace the Girl Scout Law values like being "Honest & Fair," "Friendly & Helpful," and "Courageous & Strong," just like the superstars in the big games.

With these badges, girls dive into health, leadership, learning, and teamwork through sports. While having a ton of fun, staying active, and living their best healthy lives, they earn age-appropriate badges that teach fair play, practicing with purpose, good sportsmanship, cross-training, and coaching. It's all about scoring big on and off the field!

Daisy Petals – Daisy

Connect the values of the Girl Scout Law with the spirit of the big games. By earning petals like "Honest & Fair," "Friendly & Helpful," and "Courageous & Strong," Daisies learn the importance of good sportsmanship and teamwork, just like their favorite athletes.

Fair Play - Brownie

Playing fair means that everyone has the same chance to play because everyone follows the same rules. That’s what this badge is about. You’ll learn to work together to have the most fun possible. That’s fair play!

Practice with Purpose - Junior

Even the best athletes weren’t born great at sports. They had to practice with purpose. Have fun with these activities as you learn to improve a skill—no matter what track, court, rink, pool, slope, or field you like to play on. Game on!

Good Sportsmanship - Cadette

It’s good to be an athlete, but the greatest athletes agree it’s just as important to be a good sport. When you make good sportsmanship a habit in games and in life, others want to play with you, hang out with you, and generally live up to your example. So whether you’re a dedicated athlete with a chosen sport or you just like to enjoy an occasional game among friends, this badge will help you have more fun on the field—and off.

Cross-Training - Senior

Whether you’re a competitive athlete, new to exercise, or want to improve your skills in surfing, hiking, or even throwing a Frisbee, this badge will help you customize a cross-training fitness program that’s effective and, most important, fun! The idea of cross-training is to incorporate a variety of cardio, strength, and conditioning exercises into a routine that trains your whole body. Grab your sweatband, and create a plan that’s perfect for your body, mind, and goals.

 

Coaching - Ambassador

What does it take to motivate a team to accomplish its goals? The best coaches put their answers into action at every practice. In this badge, find your answers and share them! Coaching is an opportunity to share your love of a sport, demonstrate your athletic skills, and to inspire and empower athletes to realize their potential.
