What would be my daughter's Program Age Level?

Daisy Girl Scouts (Ages 5-6)  "The First Step in a Lifetime Adventure"
"Daisy Girl Scouts meet in groups of five to 10 with two or more adult leaders in a nurturing, inclusive environment. They go on trips, learn about nature and science, and explore the arts and their communities. Daisy Girl Scouts can also earn Learning Petals and receive participation patches." Learn more about Daisy Girl Scouts here.

Brownie Girl Scouts (Ages 6-8)  "Going Places, Making New Friends"
"Brownie Girl Scouts work together in groups, earn Brownie Girl Scout Try-Its, and explore their community. Friendship, fun, and age-appropriate activities begin at the Brownie Girl Scout meeting and move out to the community and wider world." Learn more about Brownie Girl Scouts here.

Junior Girl Scouts (Ages 8-11)  "Explorations, Fun, and Best Friends Forever"
"Junior Girl Scouts earn badges and discover what girl power is all about through new activities and by learning to take charge of their own plans. They gain self-confidence as they explore the world in partnership with their troop/group leaders." Learn more about Junior Girl Scouts here.

Girl Scouts 11-17  "Ready to Become, Belong, Believe, and Build"
"Girls ages 11-17 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.

Girls ages 11-17 can also participate in STUDIO 2B "destinations", taking international and national excursions." Learn more about Girl Scouts ages 11-17 here.
