What are the membership categories?

Daisy Girl Scouts, 5 to 6 years old, are in kindergarten. They learn and have fun in small group activities that expand their world. They do not participate in fund-raising or product sales.

Brownie Girl Scouts, 6 to 8 years old, are in first through third Grades. They enjoy a program that appeals to their wide-ranging curiosity and desire to be helpful. They may earn Try-It badges for participation in special activities.

Junior Girl Scouts, 8 to 11 years old, are in third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades. They focus on developing friendships and teamwork in action-oriented projects and activities that include camping, science and technology, community service and sports. They may earn badges to indicate growth and progress.

Studio 2B is for girls 11 to 13, 13 to 15, and 15 to 17 years of age. In a new program, By Girls, For Girls, they have a menu of options from the Studio 2B Focus Collections that matches them with an advisor to follow their dream activities. They may also choose to mix and match current activities, including the interest projects and Gold and Silver Awards projects found in the following programs:

Cadette Girl Scouts, 11 to 14 years old, are in the sixth through ninth grades. They learn new skills, explore careers, help in their communities, develop their leadership potential, work with younger girls, travel and experience new challenges.

Senior Girl Scouts, 14 to 17 years old, are in the tenth through twelfth grades. They explore the arts, community action and careers. They may also work with adults and younger Girl Scouts in leadership roles, participate in national and international Girl Scout events, and pursue advanced awards such as the Girl Scout Gold Award. They tailor the Girl Scout program to their interests, needs and busy schedules of their group members for fun and projects.

Juliettes are girls 6 to 17 who register independently of any group and participate in selected Council activities such as soccer, summer programs, etc.

Adult volunteers ages 18 and older carry out the purpose and activities of Girl Scouting in partnership with girls. Girl Scouts of Monterey Bay is eager to provide an exciting and rewarding experience for its adult membership. Volunteer!
