Junior Girl Scouts – are in grades 3-6 or between the ages of 8 and 11. They work with an adult leader to determine not only what areas of interest they will explore, and how they will explore them, (badge activities, service projects, trips activities suggested in their handbook, etc.), but also the manner in which they run their group or troop. Junior Girl Scouts might meet in small groups on a biweekly, weekly or monthly basis, or they might be individually registered Girl Scouts. They might also meet for a set period of time to explore a specific activity, such as a four- to five-week sports skills program, a six-week theater program, or a weekend event at a science museum or resident or day camp. Junior Girl Scouts may plan and take overnight trips. As they become more experienced in planning and evaluating their activities, they can take trips of longer duration. In addition to participating in their council’s annual cookie sale, Junior Girl Scouts can work on badge and other recognition activities, and can wear these badges and other patches on their vest or sash.
