  Juliette Magill Low's official passport photo and description from 1915 |
 This image is from the front of the 1915 passport application. Note that she SOLEMNLY SWEARS she was born in 1861 (!), not 1860. This continues on several other passport applications. |
 Long gone are the days when a passport cost $1.00. |
|
 Her 1916 passport photo shows a slightly longer view. |
 On her 1916 passport application again, she states she was born in 1861. |

This letter accompanied Juliette Low's 1916
passport application. It was written by her brother. Dear Sir: Referring to the Department of State
Communication on the subject of application for the pass-port made
by Mrs. Juliette Magill Low, I beg to state the following facts: Mrs. Low is my sister, she is a widow who lost
her husband in 1904 and she has attended to her own business affairs
since his death. She resides part of the time here and part of the
time in England. When she is in America she resides with my mother,
Mrs. Nellie K. Gordon. In May she received a notice from her solicitor
in London Sir George Lewis Bart informing her that the tenant of her
London house was going to repudiate her lease and sub-let her house
to some unknown party. The money from the rent of this house is one
of the largest assets in her income, and she feels that her personal
supervision is needed to adjust this business. If necessary, she can
get Sir George Lewis to cable to that effect. Mrs. Low as you probably are aware is the
President and organizer of the Girl Scout Movement and is therefore
well known and could be identified by such representative citizens
as Admiral Richard Wainwright and the Honorable Wayne Parker, member
from New Jersey, who both reside in Washington. Under these circumstances I hope there will be
no difficulty in the pass-port being sent to her, but if further
documentary evidence is necessary please notify me, and I will
arrange that Sir George Lewis shall communicate with you and
corroborate these facts. Yours very truly, G.H. Gordon |
 1918 |
 1918 letter enclosed with Juliette Low's passport application includes the following interesting line - "...but at the same time so useful in keeping them away from soldiers" |
 1918 application again notes a 1861 birth, and notes Baden-Powell's name, who clearly was well known - as he is not identified as being part of the Scouting movement. |
 Juliette Low's 1922 application for renewal of passport included two photos, this one from 1921. |
 This is the other photo, 1922. |
 1922 application for renewal of passport shows her Girl Scouting destinations. |
