Juliette Girl Scouts (formerly known as Indies) are registered girl
members, in grades K-12, who are busy, independent, self-confident
girls and young women who want to be a part of something larger – Girl Scouts!
Meeting in troops is one way to be part of the Girl Scout
experience, but when there aren’t available troops in the area, a
troop no longer meets, or a girl becomes too busy with extracurricular
activities or sports, becoming a Juliette will allow her to continue
her Girl Scout experience on an individual basis.
Named after Girl Scouts founder, Juliette Gordon Low, a Juliette
Girl Scout doesn’t attend troop meetings. Instead, she works on Girl
Scout programs with the guidance of a caregiver or another adult
mentor. Juliettes decide what activities to participate in and which
earned recognitions/ awards to complete. A Juliette may also attend
community and council events - just like a traditional Girl Scout!
Advantages to Participating in Girl Scouts as a Juliette
Juliettes Can Do Anything Girl Scouts in a Troop Can Do
Juliette Girl Scouts learn to Discover, Connect, and Take
Action when they:
-
Complete Girl Scout Journeys + Badges
Girls can choose from three different Journey books at each
program grade level. Journeys guide girls towards becoming a leader
in their community. Juliettes can also earn badges, which include a
variety of skill-building activities, many of which compliment the
Journeys.
-
Attend Girl Scout Events + Activities
Juliettes can meet other girls in their area while completing
Journeys, earning badges, or learning more about the outdoors at council-sponsored
events. Communities also offer many events and service
opportunities, which are great for Juliettes to meet other Girl
Scouts in their area.
-
Help Others Through Community Service
Part of the Girl Scout Law is to “make the world a better
place.” Juliettes can work on their own or with their Girl Scout
community to carry out this Girl Scout tradition. Juliettes can also
pass along what they’ve learned, gain leadership skills, and earn
special mentoring awards by helping younger Girl Scouts at troop
meetings, events, camp, and more.
-
Participate in the Girl Scout Cookie and Fall Product Programs
Juliettes can fund their Girl Scout activities while learning
great business skills including goal setting, decision making, money
management, people skills, and business ethics. Learn more about Cookies and Treats
& Reads.
-
Earn Girl Scouting’s Highest Awards
The Gold,
Silver, and Bronze Awards are the highest awards in Girl
Scouting. Juliettes can earn these awards by leading a take-action
project to improve their local community.
-
Travel with Girl Scout Destinations
Juliettes can experience leadership opportunities and
cross-cultural understanding through regional, national, and
international travel.
