Grade Levels

Any girl in grades K–12 can join the fun at Girl Scouts. Whether you want to be part of a troop, sign up for exciting events and programs, explore the outdoors, or travel the world, each age level has something for you.

Girls are placed in the appropriate grade level according to what grade they’re in at school, as shown above.

Moving on to New Adventures
Bridging is an important transition in a Girl Scout’s life. It’s
a defining moment when a Girl Scout becomes aware of
her achievements and is ready for new adventures and
responsibilities.
Celebrating this change should be fun, personalized, and
memorable for everyone involved. And most of all, it should
be designed by the girls in true partnership with adults.

There are six levels of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience:
Daisy Girl Scout (grades K–1)
