Daisy is the initial level of Girl Scouting. Named for Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low, Daisies are in kindergarten and first grade (around ages 5 and 6).  They typically meet in groups of five to ten and have adult leaders that plan activities to introduce them to Girl Scouts. Daisies earn the Promise Center and Petals, which focus on the Girl Scout Law and are placed on the front of the tunic in a daisy design. They may also earn or receive patches for the back of their uniform, which consists of a light blue tunic, a blue membership disk, and the Daisy Pin. They use the Daisy Girl Scout Activity Book to work on activities, may camp only with a parent present, and have the option to sell Girl Scout cookies.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brownies are in second and third grades (around ages 7 and 8)  and earn triangular shaped Brownie Girl Scout "Try-Its". Try-Its are designed to introduce girls to new activities and let them try it out - proficiency is not required or expected. Their uniform consists of a brown vest or sash, with green membership disks, and the Brownie Pin. Brownies go by the Brownie Girl Scout Handbook and earn badges from the Try-Its for Brownie Girl Scouts book.

Unlike some of the other levels, the name Brownie is commonly used with Girl Scout/Girl Guide organizations around the world and has its origin from Brownies in the British Girl Guides.

Juniors are in fourth and fifth grades (around ages 9 and 10) The Junior Girl Scout uniform is a green vest or sash with yellow membership disks. Junior Girl Scouts is the first level to wear the official Girl Scout Pin on their uniform. They also use the Junior Girl Scout Handbook and earn badges from the Junior Girl Scout Badge Book. Badges require more skill at this level as the girls gain proficiency. Juniors may also work on other awards including the Leadership Award, Junior Aide, and the Junior Girl Scout Signs and are eligible to earn the Bronze Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting available at this level.
Seniors are Girl Scouts who are in ninth and tenth grades (around ages 14 and 15)  Seniors wear the same khaki colored vest or sash as the Cadettes — however, they all wear red membership disks. Although they earn the same Interest Projects and STUDIO 2B Focus booklets, Seniors may utilize the Senior Girl Scout Handbook and work on Program Aide, Leader-in-Training, or Counselor-in-Training, along with the Leadership Award, the Career Award, and the 4Bs Challenge appropriate for their level. Senior Girl Scouts are eligible to earn the Gold Award, Girl Scouting's highest honor.
