Juliette Gordon Low, our Founder, was a woman way ahead of her time - every new technology, idea, invention was exciting. She learned to smith iron gates, drive, fly, send Morse's Code and Semaphore messaging. She invented what maybe the first "recyclable" trash can liner in 1915 - Check this out!
She designed and registered our first "badge" aka pin in 1914 and the Girl Scouts have gone on to register and protect our various trademarks throught the year..
The patent number for her utility patent is 1,124,025
The patent number for her design patent is D45234
