Membership levels of the Girl Scouts of the USA

The Girl Scouts of the USA has six levels: Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Senior and Ambassador.

Girl Scouts move or "bridge" to the next level, usually at the end of the school year, when they reach the age of advancing.

[1] They are considered in the appropriate level based on their grade on October 1, the start of each new Girl Scout year.

All uniform tunics, vests, or sashes must include the American flag patch, council ID patches troop numbers, and a yellow, brown, green, or navy tab with the WAGGGS pin and the membership pin.

They may also wear their tunic with a white shirt and khaki bottoms or with an official Girl Scout Daisy uniform.

[3][9] and earn triangular shaped Brownie Leadership Journey Awards and National Proficiency Badges.

[3][11] Their uniform is a green vest or sash which may be worn with a white shirt and khaki bottoms.

[2] Juniors are the first level to wear the official Girl Scout Membership Pin on their uniform.

They earn circle-shaped Junior Leadership Journey Awards and National Proficiency Badges.

Typically, Girl Scouts at this level are encouraged to assume leadership roles within them, such as assisting in leading and coordinating service unit or association events.

[13] They wear the same uniform as Cadettes—however, the disks for their membership stars are red and their badges are a rectangular shape.

Adults, both men and women, can join Girl Scouts and participate as leaders or in other volunteer roles.

In 2001, Stefanie Argus, an eighth-grade student, created Juliettes, an official designation for independent Girl Scouts, as her Silver Award Project.

A Juliette is still placed in her appropriate grade level and works on program as would any other girl her age in a regular troop.
