Who Can Join Girl Scouts?

Who can be a Girl Scout?

Girl Scouting is open to all girls ages 5-17 regardless of race, creed, nationality or socio-economic status.

To join Clark, Garwood & Winfield Girl Scouts, you must live or attend school within the Clark, Garwood and Winfield Service Area.

  If you do not live within this area, check your phone book or GSUSA's Council Finder for your local council.

Girl Scouting offers one continuous program with five different age levels:

  • Daisy Girl Scouts - Kindergarten

  • Brownie Girl Scouts - grades 1-3

  • Junior Girl Scouts - grades 4-6

  • Cadette Girl Scouts - grades 6-9

  • Senior Girl Scouts - grades 9-12

  • Studio 2B – grades 7-12


 

What can Girl Scouts do?

Girls may participate in Girl Scout troops which meet on a regular basis after school, evening or weekends. If they prefer, girls may also participate in the Girl Scout program by meeting on a short- term basis with other girls with similar interests or by attending camps and special events.

Daisy Girl Scouts learn many different things by doing arts and crafts, singing songs, and playing games. They learn how to share and they explore the exciting world around them.

Brownie Girl Scouts earn Try-its, go to camp, make new friends, do crafts, dance, play games, explore, and develop new skills.

Junior Girl Scouts earn badges, learn new skills and discover new things about themselves. Junior Girl Scouts take part in a wide variety of programs including camp.

Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts begin to broaden the world around them by earning Interest Project awards and by learning new leadership skills. Cadettes and Seniors have many options open to them, including the Wider Opportunity program. Leadership experiences are available in a variety of ways, including working at summer camp!  Studio 2B (a more independent way of scouting) is an opportunity for girls in grades 7 through 12.

Are you interested?

Have your parent or guardian send an email indicating your interest in joining to our Service Unit Manager at sum@cwgs.org. Your name will be forwarded to the volunteer organizer in your school or grade level. Placement in a troop is contingent on availability of leaders.

Parents/Guardians: become involved as an adult leader or troop committee member volunteer and share in the rewards of Girl Scouting!
