House for All
The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace opened its doors to visitors in 1956, with the goal to be a “house for all girls.”
What does it mean to make a place where everyone feels welcome and included? How would you design a building to be fun and easy for anyone to use? What resources do you need to break through barriers to accessibility?
In this strategy game, you’ll trade cards and collaborate with your teammates to design a welcoming, accessible place for your imaginary clients to live, work, and play. You’ll find out about inclusive design and how designing for accessibility first can make the world a better place for everyone.
She's Got Game
Are you afraid of making mistakes? Saying the wrong thing? Starting something new? What holds you back from taking action in life? Playing games can help you with that!
Juliette Gordon Low might have realized that the time she spent as a girl playing and making up games with family and friends helped give her the courage, confidence, and character she needed to start Girl Scouts. She made sure that “real FUN” was an important part of early Girl Scouting from the beginning.
Carry on this Girl Scout tradition. Have fun and hack your fears while playing games with other Girl Scouts!
Picture This!
From a young age Juliette Low discovered she had a passion for art and storytelling – a passion she shared with the earliest Girl Scout troops. Inspired by the work of Juliette Gordon Low and women artists of the Progressive Era, participants will take on the role of a member of an artist collective preparing for an exhibition. At the end of the session, participants will receive a take-home activity with guidelines on hosting an art show.
Over Teacups
Note: This program is for Cadettes, Seniors, Ambassadors, or adult Girl Scout alums only.
What do you imagine when you think of “afternoon tea”? White gloves, formal chitchat, and dainty tea cakes? What about votes for women, civil rights, and social justice?
Juliette Gordon Low enjoyed the ritual of afternoon tea. It was “over teacups” in our parlor with her cousin Nina Pape that she hatched her plan to introduce the Girl Scout Movement to the United States.
Now we invite Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts to join us for a tasting tour and tea in Juliette’s family home. We’ll taste our way through stories from Juliette Gordon Low’s life and hear how other trailblazing women have used food to make the world a better place.
