Junior Girl Scouts~
In grades 4-5 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 Girl Guide, 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, many different awards, and can display
their badges/ awards on their vest or sash.
