The girls eligible to be daisies are between the ages of five and six or in kindergarten. Daisies govern themselves through the Daisy Girl Scout Circle. These young girls receive a certificate of recognition at the beginning and end of their year as a Daisy; however, there are no badges to earn at this age level.
Brownies should be between the ages of six and eight or in grades first through third. Girls, as brownies, run their troop by the Brownie Girl Scout Ring with committee. As a Brownie, the girls may earn Brownie Girl Scout Try-Its, the Dabbler badge, and the Bridge to Junior Girl Scouts patch.
The ages for Junior Girl Scouts are between nine and eleven years old or fourth through sixth grade. In some situations, girls age eight and in third grade may be Juniors. Juniors are governed by patrol systems, an executive board, or town meeting. These girls have the opportunity to earn badges, signs, the Junior Aide patch, or the Bridge to Cadette Girl Scout patch.
Girls between the ages of twelve and fourteen, grades seventh through ninth, are eligible for the Cadette Girl Scout program. In some situations, girls age eleven and in sixth grade may be Cadettes. Cadettes, like Juniors, govern themselves by the patrol system, executive board, or town meeting format. Recognition available to Cadettes include: interest project patches, the From Dreams to Reality patch, the Cadette Girl Scout Program Aide pin and patch, the Cadette Girl Scout Leadership Award, Leader-In-Training and Counselor-In-Training pins, the Cadette Girl Scout Challenge, Community Service Bars, religious awards, the Girl Scout Silver Award, and the Bridge to Senior Girl Scouts patch.
Senior Girl Scouts are from fourteen to seventeen years old or in the ninth through twelfth grades. Seniors abide by the same troop governmental structures as both Juniors and Cadettes. Seniors have the opportunity to earn: interest project patches, the Senior Girl Scout Program Aide pin and patch, the Career Exploration pin, the Senior Girl Scout Leadership Award, the Senior Girl Scout Challenge, Leader-In-Training pin, Senior Girl Scout Troop Assistant, Counselor-In-Training pin, Community Service Bars, religious awards and recognitions, the Ten-Year Award, the Girl Scout Gold Award, and the Bridge to Adult Girl Scouts pin.
