wherever she lives, whatever challenges face her, however great the journey to what she can become.

Don’t have time to be on a traditional troop? Here is the solution… become a Juliette!Girls can join Girl Scouts as Juliettes (individually-registered girls, not in troops) and can participate in different types of activities. These activities provide alternate membership options (pathways) outside of a troop. Pathways include events, camp, and/or a series. For example, a girl can participate in an event pathway simply by registering for program activities in this publication.
