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?
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?
Girl Scout Juliettes can do anything Girl Scouts in a troop can do. Juliettes learn to Discover, Connect, and Take Action when they:
Girls can choose from different Journey books at each program grade level. Journeys guide girls 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.
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. Service units also offer many events which are great ways for Juliettes to meet other Girl Scouts in their area. New this year to Girl Scouts River Valleys will be exclusive Juliette Girl Scout virtual meet-ups and programs.
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.
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 Product Program (Snacks & Magazines sale).
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.
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
A Girl Scout Juliette mentor is a parent or trusted adult who guides
a Juliette through their experience. Juliette mentors are 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.
Connect with other Juliette mentors in the Service Unit.
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 troop
leader checklist 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.
Juliette Program Credits
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).
