Junior Girl Scouts
Girl Scout Juniors earn badges and discover what girl power is all about through new activities and by learning to take charge of their own plans. They gain self-confidence as they explore the world in partnership with their troop/group leaders.
Junior Age Levels: Junior Girl Scouts are girls in the 4th and 5th grades. If a girl is ahead or behind her age-based grade level, she may participate in Girl Scouts with her peers by decision of her parents, leader and council.
Uniform: 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. This is worn on their vest or sash -- juniors wear green -- along with a white shirt and khaki bottoms (shorts, pants, skirt, capris or skort).
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.
Girl Scout Bronze Award: This is the highest award a Junior Girl Scout 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.
