Daisy Girl Scouts - this membership pin is worn by the youngest of Girl Scouts.  The one-year program is geared for girls in kindergarten, or age 5.  These Girl Scouts gain friendships and fun while beginning to learn values within the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

Brownie Girl Scouts - this membership pin is worn by girls who are in grades 1 - 3.  Girls begin to learn new skills and try new things, and thus they earn "Try-Its" when they accomplish the tasks.  Brownie Girl Scouts can learn goal-setting and assertiveness as they build on friendships and self-esteem.  They are now able to sell Girl Scout Cookies.

Junior Girl Scouts - this membership pin is the contemporary version of the traditional pin, shown to the right.  Any member including Juniors, Older Girls, and Adults may wear either version of the membership pin.   Junior Girl Scouts are girls in grades 3 - 6, and these years are brimming with energy.  Girls try lots of new adventures, begin to explore more things, contributing to their community and beyond, and earn Badges along with other achievements including Leadership, Junior Aide, and the Bronze Award.

Older Girl Scouts -  Cadette Girl Scouts and Senior Girl Scouts  may wear either the contemporary or traditional membership pin.  Cadette Girl Scouts, girls in grades 6 - 9,  begin to branch out into more challenging roles, exploring career opportunities, taking on leadership roles, and learning new skills they will be able to draw upon in their adult lives.  Through various achievement components such as Interest Patches, Dreams To Reality, 4BChallenge, Leadership, and service projects, a Cadette Girl Scout may earn the Silver Award. 

Senior Girl Scouts include girls in grades 9 - 12, and this level helps girls explore opportunities with life-long value.  Senior Girl Scouts might travel to more distant places, understanding diversity, learning more about their country and often establishing their ambitions for the future.  Through various achievement components such as related Interest Patches, Career Exploration, Leadership, 4B Challenge, and a related service project, a Senior Girl Scout may earn the Gold Award - the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn.  Not only does a girl gain notoriety when this honor is included on her resume, she also will be recognized by the armed forces should she enlist.

Studio 2B - Older girls may also participate in Studio 2B, a new addition to the Girl Scout Program.  Here, girls may focus on various topics that are important to them, work on skill-building tasks, network, and grow with the experience.  Membership in a 2B group may be within a traditional GS troop, or a separate, satellite group.

Girl Scouting is primarily a volunteer-based organization, and Adult members are key to delivering the program to the girls in their community.  There are many more ways to support the organization beyond leadership.  Contact  HooksettGS@aol.com or your local Girl Scout Council for more information on how you can become involved.

World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts - This pin is worn by all levels of Girl Scout members and represents our unity with Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world.  As of 2006, 144 countries (including USA) belong to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). It not only provides the structure for uniting all its member organizations, but also promotes and establishes the Girl Guide/Girl Scout program in new countries around the world. WAGGGS member organizations aim to increase opportunities for girls and help them develop important life skills. www.wagggs.org.

Girl Scouts of the USA supports international friendships through contributions to WAGGGS, including a donation every year from its Juliette Low World Friendship Fund to the World Thinking Day Fund.  Each February 22nd, Girl Scouts join others around the world with a special day when Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all around the world think of each other and honor their "sister" Girl Scouts.
