Junior Scouts are girls ages 8-11 and in 4^th-6^th grades.

 

UNIFORMS:

Junior Girl Scouts receive the Girl Scout pin that they will wear for the remainder of their Girl Scout years, either the traditional gold trefoil with an eagle, or a green and gold trefoil with silhouettes of girls. Juniors may also wear a green sash or vest to display their earned awards and participation patches. Many other uniform pieces are available, styled with the modern pre-teenager in mind.

 

ACTIVITIES:

Juniors begin to dig deeper into things that interest them – everything from songs and cooking, science and government, to horsemanship and camping of course. Activities teach leadership, responsibility and community service in a girl-friendly way. They earn badges and other special awards that demand a certain amount of work from the girls and help them develop life skills. Of course, they have fun and build friendships along the way.

 

THE BRONZE AWARD:

This is the highest award a Junior can earn. The girls must choose a community service project, prepare for the project by earning some of the other special awards, learn about the project through badges and research, then complete the project with a minimum of 15 community service hours.

COST:

Girls must be registered with GSUSA in order to participate in Girl Scout activities. Other expenses are optional and are determined by the scout, family & troop.
