She was the founder of the Girl Scout organization…and an inventor.

Juliette Gordon Low patented the organization’s iconic trefoil badge in 1914. The three-leafed clover design suggested a fundamental equality between girls and boys on the eve of women’s suffrage and continues to signal girls’ invaluable contributions to American life and culture.

Low’s trading card is part of our new America’s 250 Innovator Trading Card series — 12 cards honoring the visionaries whose ideas and leadership helped shape our nation. Discover more about Low’s trading card and find out which other important innovators are featured in the series: https://www.uspto.gov/kids/inventors-change-world

Convention is underway in Washington, D.C.! Explore what the Girl Scout convention halls looked like in the 60s and 70s.

The convention hall is a showcase designed to appeal to American girls, and companies outside of Girl Scouts used this as an opportunity to promote their products.

In the past, this included companies with traditional feminine products like Singer sewing machines or Dow Chemical Co. cleaning products, but also advertisements for careers with the U.S. Government that utilized skills learned in Girl Scouting.
