Girl Scouts founder, Juliette Gordon Low, selected for the 2025 American Women Quarters™ Program
The United States Mint has included Girl Scouts’ trailblazing founder Juliette Gordon Low among the honorees for the 2025 American Women Quarters™ Program. This program features coins with designs reflecting the accomplishments and contributions of American women.
“What an incredible way to honor Juliette and her vision of a Movement that prepares girls to take the lead and make the world a better place,” says Girl Scouts of Colorado CEO Leanna Clark. “It’s a wonderful acknowledgement of Juliette as an important historical figure and a tribute to the amazing power of Girl Scouts!”
Juliette is in great company—the other honorees announced for 2025, the program’s fourth and final year, include:
- Legendary investigative journalist, civil rights activist, researcher, and co-founder of the NAACP Ida B. Wells.
- Trailblazing astronomer Dr. Vera Rubin, who pioneered work on galaxy rotation rates.
- Activist Stacey Park Milbern, who helped create and build the disability justice movement.
- Barrier breaking tennis champion Althea Gibson, the first Black athlete to win a Grand Slam title and the first Black player to compete on the Women’s Professional Golf Tour.
The designs for the quarters featuring the 2025 honorees will be unveiled in spring 2024, and they will go into circulation in 2025. Girl Scouts of Colorado looks forward to this ongoing celebration of Juliette Gordon Low’s life and legacy. You can learn more about the American Women Quarters Program here.
