Girls say it is important to be with other
girls their age and, currently, they get bored by too much repetition.
As one 13-year-old Girl Scout wrote, “It makes us more comfortable to be
with the same age group as ourselves.” Girls identify with social groups
based on grades. Research also found that girls learn best and have the
most fun when they are with the right
developmental/social grouping.
The new grade levels, approved by the National Board, address the charge
of intentionally creating differentiated Girl Scout experiences that
mirror girls’ developmental needs:
Girl Scout Daisy, Grades K-1
Girl Scout Brownie, Grades 2-3
Girl Scout Junior, Grades 4-5
Girl Scout Cadette, Grades 6-8
Girl Scout Senior, Grades 9-10
Girl Scout Ambassador, Grades 11-12
The grade-level groups provide
"leadership levels" for girls as they progressively "step forward"
through the New Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
At this level, girls are in
Kindergarten and First grade. This year, so far, we have five Daisy Troops
and twenty-six Daisies.
