Yes, and so should "Girl Scout".

In addition:

Girl Scout Brownie is a proper noun because it names a specific level of Girl Scouting, so yes, Brownie should be capitalized whenever referring to a Girl Scout Brownie.

Note: GSUSA changed the level names so that "Girl Scout" always comes first, so "Girl Scout Brownie" is the correct usage.

The word troop should only be capitalized when it is the name of a specific troop, thus making it a proper noun.

For example: Girl Scout Troop 50193 will be attending the event at the arena. The leader of Girl Scout Troop 10112 drove the van.

The word troop should not be capitalized when it is not the name of a specific troop.

For example: There is more than one Girl Scout troop in Denver. The leader of the Girl Scout troop drove the van.
