Solo Girl Scouts

Solo Girl Scout Juliettes are registered girl members, in grades K-12, who are not affiliated with a troop and complete Girl Scout activities with the guidance of an adult mentor. Learn how Juliettes can participate in a way that fits their schedule and participate in activities that meet their needs and interests.

Why Participate as a Juliette? toggle arrow

There are many advantages to participating in Girl Scouts as a Juliette.

Juliettes:

Gain leadership experience.
Have the opportunity to participate in all Girl Scout activities individually, so they can tailor their experience.
Create a well-rounded Girl Scout experience by completing the planning guide for their grade-level on their own time.
Serve their community through individual community service projects and Take Action projects.
Have opportunities to connect with other Girl Scouts through council sponsored virtual and in-person events.

What Can a Juliette Do? toggle arrow

Girl Scout Juliettes can do anything Girl Scouts in a troop can do. Juliettes learn to Discover, Connect, and Take Action when they:

Complete Girl Scout Journeys and Badges

They can choose from different Journey books at each program grade level. Journeys guide Girl Scouts towards becoming a leader in their community. Juliettes can also earn badges, which include a variety of skill-building activities, many of which compliment the Journeys.
Attend Girl Scout Events and Activities

Juliettes can meet other girls in their area while completing Journeys, earning badges, and learning more about the outdoors, STEM, healthy living, and entrepreneurship at council-sponsored events. Communities and areas can also offer events which are great ways for Juliettes to meet other Girl Scouts in their area.
Help Others Through Community Service

Part of the Girl Scout Law is to “make the world a better place.” Juliettes can work on their own or with their Girl Scout community to carry out this Girl Scout tradition. Juliettes can also pass along what they’ve learned, gain leadership skills, and earn special mentoring awards by helping younger Girl Scouts at troop meetings, events, camp, and more.
Participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program or the Fall FUNDraiser.

Just like Girl Scouts in troops, Juliettes can fund their Girl Scout activities while learning business skills like goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics when they participate in the Cookie Program or the Fall FUNDraiser.
Earn Girl Scouting’s Highest Awards

The Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards are the highest awards in Girl Scouting. Juliettes can earn these awards too by leading a Take Action project to improve their local community.
Travel with Girl Scouts

Juliettes can experience leadership opportunities and cross-cultural understanding through regional, national, and international travel. Learn more about traveling with Girl Scouts.

Girl Scout Juliette Mentors toggle arrow

A Girl Scout Juliette mentor is a parent or trusted adult who guides a Juliette through their experience. Juliette mentors provided support customized to the Girl Scout’s program grade level (PGL). Juliette mentors are invited to join Rallyhood where the mentor will have access to the most up-to-date program opportunities; including activity plans to earn badges and journeys, Juliette mentor resources, and a calendar of events to enhance the Juliette Girl Scouts and Juliette mentor experience.

Register as an adult member of Girl Scouts.
Seek out and relay information and opportunities for their Girl Scout.
Help them plan their Girl Scout year using Troop Year Plans.
Connect with community and area volunteers for opportunities to meet other Girl Scouts and participate in local events.
Follow Volunteer Essentials (PDF), and Safety Activity Checkpoints (PDF) to keep your Girl Scout safe.
Connect with other Juliette mentors in the community/area.

Resources for Juliette Mentors

Juliettes and their mentors should refer to nearly all the same resources as girls who participate in troops and Girl Scout volunteers. Follow the New Juliette Mentor Checklist (PDF) to find planning guides, take online trainings, and see your year at a glance. All parent/guardian and Juliette Mentors will also be invited to join a Juliette Rallyhood that will provide guided support on program opportunities and special activities you can do with your Girl Scout.

Juliette Program Credits toggle arrow

Because individual Girl Scouts are not eligible to hold a bank account like troops do, they receive Juliette Program Credits (JPCs) from selling cookies during the cookie sale and items during the Snacks & Magazines sale. They can also convert money from money-earning activities, or from a previous troop into JPCs by using the deposit form (PDF).

JPCs can be used at Girl Scouts River Valleys’ shops, camps, and for programs. For other Girl Scout activities, girls can turn in JPCs with receipts and a Cookie Credits, Fall FUNds, and Juliette Program Credit Reimbursement Form.
