Junior Girl Scouts are in grades 3-6 or are between the ages of 8-11. They help 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...a four to five-week sports skills program, a six-week theater program, a weekend event at a science museum, or at a resident or day camp.

Junior Girl Scouts plan and take overnight trips. As they become more experienced in planning and evaluating their activities, they can plan and take trips of longer duration. In addition to participating in their council's annual cookie sale, Junior Girl Scouts can work on badge and religious recognition activities, and can display their badges on their vest or sash.

Cadette Girl Scouts are in grades 6-9 or are between 11-14 years or age. Girls at this age engage in Girl Scout activities in many different ways. Some belong to groups that meet weekly or bi-monthly. Still others may participate in council-wide events (museum or sports facility overnights, science adventure weekends, community service events, or for a four-week performance practice) or at resident camp.

Cadette Girl Scouts determine the areas they will explore, how they will explore them, and in what manner their group, troop or session will be run. Cadette Girl Scouts can work on their council's annual cookie sale, interest projects, service projects, Silver Award projects, and participate in both national and international events and workshops.

They can receive their council's training as a Program Aide, and then provide Program Aide service to other troops, groups, as well to girls attended a day or resident camp. Recognitions for these achievements can be displayed on the Cadette Girl Scout's vest or sash.

Senior Girl Scouts are in grades 9-12 or are between 14-17 years old. They can pursue common interests at bi-monthly meetings or participate in council-wide events, resident camps. They also learn leadership skills with groups of younger girls as a Senior Program Aide, Leader-in- Training, Counselor-in-Training or Senior Girl Scout Troop Assistant. Recognitions for these achievements can be displayed on the Senior Girl Scout's vest or sash.

Senior Girl Scouts determine what areas they will explore, how they will explore them, and in what manner their group, troop or session will be run. They can work on their council's annual cookie sale, interest projects, service projects, Gold Award projects, and can participate in Leadership Institutes and other national and international events and workshops.
