Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors
Girl Scout Cadettes (grades 6-8), Seniors (grades 9-10) and Ambassadors (grades 11-12) 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.

Juliettes
Girls who want to be members of Girl Scouting but are unable to participate in troop or group activities can register as an individual member. These individual members are known as Juliettes. The Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas provides these girls with many opportunities to participate in Council-sponsored activities.
Juliettes is an alternative for all age levels and comes with no requirements other than Girl Scout membership fee of $12.00.
Although individually registered girls ages 5-17 can become Juliettes, the option is especially popular among girls ages 11-17. Tweens and teens have asked for flexibility in their Girl Scout experiences. Being a Juliette gives a menu of participation options that can be matched more closely to a girl’s time and interests. Some of today’s girls register as individuals because they were Girl Scouts as younger girls and are now looking for a new way to stay connected while not making a year-long commitment to a troop/group.
Some girls may be looking for ways of mixing and matching their special interests with Girl Scout participation - for example they take part in weekend workshops, special events, leadership projects, or vacation retreats that improve their skills and meet their needs. Some girls may live in an area where there are few or no other registered girls. Whatever the reason, Juliettes adds another dimension to Girl Scouts, which helps to assure that Girl Scouting is for every girl, everywhere!
