What if I don’t have a troop? Can I join by myself?

Yes! Earn badges, go camping, and more on your own schedule.

You can absolutely join Girl Scouts by yourself as an Individually Registered Girl (IRG) known as Juliettes after our founder, Juliette Gordon Low. Choose how to participate based on your schedule and interests.

Joining as an IRG is great for girls without a troop available nearby or who want to enjoy Girl Scout programming with their family. You can get started right away by earning badges independently or attending events to meet other Girl Scouts in your area.

Earn Badges toggle arrow

Badges signify that a Girl Scout completed all the steps needed to earn this recognition for the new skills they learned. Each badge takes a Girl Scout through the steps of learning about the skill, practicing, and demonstrating it. Badge topics range from the outdoors to STEM, or art, and even career exploration. They’re a great way to try something new and see if you enjoy it.

Once a badge is earned, it is sewn or ironed onto a sash or vest. A Girl Scout can earn new badges as they progress through each level, with activities becoming more challenging as they move up.

Go Camping toggle arrow

Follow your passion and sign up for GSNCA events as a IRG. Attend as often as you want and meet other Girl Scouts who share your enthusiasm for specific interests.

Expand your horizons by spending a week at camp in the summer or exploring local state parks. As a Cadette, Senior, or Ambassador (grades 6–12), you can even explore the United States—or the world!—by traveling to other Girl Scout camps.

Sell Cookies toggle arrow

Be a boss and start your own business by participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Juliettes can sell cookies in a structure supported by our council.

Not only will you earn funds to put toward fun Girl Scout activities, but you’ll also help ensure Girl Scouting is possible for other members just like you.

Become a Girl Scout

Creating your own path, discovering your strengths, exploring new possibilities. It’s all waiting for you.
