        • Participate in "destinations"—and travel across the country or around the world.
        • Take on a challenging backpacking, canoeing, rafting or cycling adventure.
        • Join in on make-up, fashion and fitness seminars.
        • Exchange ideas about drug awareness, peer pressure and careers with other teenage girls and adults.



Girl Scouting for teens is comprised of three levels:

teen 1~ Cadette Girl Scouts for girls in grades 6-8

~ Senior Girl Scouts for girls in grades 9-10

~ Ambassador Girl Scouts for girls in grades 11-12

Bridge to Ambassador: Earning your Award
Bridge to Ambassador: Outcomes

Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors participate in Girl Scouting in many ways. Under the guidance of a trained adult advisor, girls mix and match activities and resources to suit their needs while giving back to their communities. They connect with each other and build self-esteem and confidence in their skills as they work on a range of projects and gain life experiences.

Girl Scout travel is...

The possibilities are limitless. Whether you choose a Girl Scout destination (nationally sponsored trip exclusively designed for Girl Scouts) or travel with your Girl Scout troop, or council-sponsored trip, you will discover things about yourself you never knew. You'll also explore new places and cultures, meet new people and be challenged to take action.
