GIRLS & TEENS
From sports skill-building clinics to career mentoring, world travel and cultural exchanges to local community service projects, environmental stewardships to financial literacy, the Girl Scout program enables girls to be who they want to be. By participating in a wide range of programming activities, you can get a behind-the-scenes look at a museum, practice sports skills with local college athletes, research DNA and build robots, or rock climb in the Virginia and Tennessee mountains. This year, girls will have the chance to become scientists at the Museum of Life and Science, try a new sport at NC State University’s Women’s Volleyball Clinic, and deepen their cultural background at Tryon Palace in New Bern.
You can be a Girl Scout in many ways. You can register individually and get regular updates by mail on council-wide events and opportunities or you can join a troop or group with a gaggle of giggling girls and a couple of caring adults in her community.
Juliettes
Want to stay involved in Girl Scouting, but it's hard to find the time? Has your troop disbanded? Instead of registering with a Girl Scout troop, you may choose to register individually. In doing so, you are a part of a special group called "Juliettes". The choices are yours, and the opportunities are vast.
There are no additional requirements to be a Juliette. You can pick and choose the types of activities to particiapte. As a Juliette, you are invited and encouraged to participate fully in the Girl Scout program. How much or how little you do is up to you and of course your parent/guardian.
