Girl Scout Grade Levels | Girl Scouts of North East Ohio

Daisy

Don’t we all wish we could look at the world through a Girl Scout Daisy’s eyes? Everything they do—from planting a garden to putting on a skit to proudly adding that first petal to their vest—sparkles with that "first time ever" newness! Along the way, they’ll use their Daisy exuberance to help others—and they’ll never forget how that feels. Every Daisy meeting is an adventure filled with giggles, energy, and excitement.

As a Daisy, she might:

Gain new friends as part of a troop
Earn petals (the special Daisy version of badges earned by older Girl Scouts) as she embraces the Girl Scout Promise and Law
Make a difference in her community through a Leadership Award
Sell cookies (and have fun doing it)
Explore nature and the outdoors

Brownie

Girl Scout Brownies are ready to take on the world, and Girl Scouting lets them do just that! They want to learn new things and show off what they know. They want to explore the world and meet new people. And they want to do something big that makes them feel great!

They get to do all these things and more in Girl Scouts: take that first hike in the great outdoors; visit a science museum; band together as a mighty Brownie team to sell cookies—and use some of the money to help others. Life is good when you’re a Brownie!

As a Brownie, she might:

Expand her circle of friends in a troop
Have fun learning all kinds of new skills as she earns badges
Do a project that makes a difference in her community (and beyond) as part of a Girl Scout Leadership Award
Bond with her friends as she sells cookies
Explore nature and the outdoors

Junior

Want to meet a real-life Supergirl? Just talk to a Girl Scout Junior who wakes up every day ready to play a new role.

Juniors are explorers when they go camping for the first time. They're CEOs when they market and sell cookies. They're scientists when they do energy audits and go on nature walks. And they're product designers and writers when they earn their Innovation and Storytelling badges. Not to mention change makers, big-idea thinkers, and future leaders. Supergirl, indeed!

As a Junior, she might:

Share stories (and smiles) with new friends in her troop
Try new experiences and learn new skills as she earns badges
Sell cookies (and have fun doing it)
Explore the outdoors at camp and beyond
Choose an issue she cares about, then do something to make a difference as part of a Girl Scout Leadership Award
Earn her Bronze Award, the first of Girl Scouts' highest awards.

Cadette

Making true-blue friends, saving the planet, standing up against stereotypes, using their team power for the greater good—that’s what being a Girl Scout Cadette is all about.

Cadettes blaze new trails in the wilderness, write and direct their own movies, take the stage for public speaking, make delicious meals from around the world, and pick up tools to do some woodworking. Their curiosity and imagination lead the way as they try all kinds of new experiences.

As a Cadette, she might:

Choose an issue she cares about, then do something to make a difference as part of a Girl Scout Leadership Award
Earn her Silver Award, the highest award a Cadette can earn
Get outdoors and off the beaten trail
Try out new experiences (and learn new skills) as she earns badges
Gain confidence as she mentors younger Girl Scouts (and earns her Leadership in Action award in the process)

Senior

Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors are ready to take the world by storm—and Girl Scouts will give them millions of ways to do it.

They can travel to amazing places like Costa Rica, Japan, or India; explore exciting careers in a variety of fields, from science to the arts to education to government; take on big projects and help others in a big way. And, of course, they can earn their Gold Award, which (by the way) adds that “little something extra” to their college applications. Seniors and Ambassadors are eager to spread their wings—and Girl Scouts helps them take flight.

Interested in earning your Gold Award? You’ll be in great company. Check out some Gold Award projects and find out how to join the club.
