From Quarters to Confidence: The Girl Scout Connection
Did you know that Girl Scouts have been learning about financial literacy for over a century? Juliette Gordon Low’s vision for Girl Scouts wasn’t just about outdoor adventures or selling cookies; it was about preparing girls for the future.

- Setting and tracking financial goals
- Budgeting and smart money habits
- Understanding entrepreneurship and business strategies
- Using money wisely in an increasingly digital world
And of course, the Girl Scout Cookie Program® is one of the largest girl-led entrepreneurial programs in the world, where girls develop real-world business and financial skills that last a lifetime.
Juliette Gordon Low believed in investing in girls' potential—and now, her legacy will be recognized on a coin that represents financial empowerment!
