You can register for Girl Scouts at any time. Contact your local Girl Scout office or your Girl Scout council's (Girl Scouts of Wisconsin - Badgerland Council, Inc.) office for the most current information about registration.

In the United States, however Bluebirds are not Girl Scouts. They are the younger members of Camp Fire Girls. They become Camp Fire Girls at the age of 12. Camp Fire Girls and Bluebirds were started before Girl Scouts. The groups were formed because they were not allowed in the Boy Scouts.

In addition:

Girl Guides ages 7 to 11, in the Guides Association of Thailand, are called Bluebirds.

If Juliette Gordon Low played basketball, she probably wore an outfit similar to the outfits her Girl Scouts wore: loose blouses over pants called bloomers. Since girls at that time were not allowed to wear pants, Juliette had a special basketball court for the girls to use. Curtains were hung to hide the court!

Scouting is a worldwide youth organisation, welcoming male or females from the ages of 6-18 in the youth sections and males and females of any age in adult leadership sections. With over 28 million members worldwide, it is the world's largest youth organisation and offers young people from all backgrounds the opportunity to take part in a wide range of activities in safe environments, meet new, lifelong friends and also develop many skills, including leadership and responsibility.

Scholarships are available for Girl Scouts. It is best if they have earned the Girl Scout Gold Award.

This is a matter of opinion. Each person would need to decide for themselves which one they think is best based on what they are looking for in a Girl Guide Center.

When Boy Scouts were first getting started, many groups of girls also wanted to be Scouts, so they were meeting and calling themselves Girl Scouts. Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who started the Scouting Movement, thought that girls should have their own organization, so he named it Girl Guides and asked his sister, Agnes Baden-Powell, to help grow the Girl Guide organization.

Girls choose to be Girl Guides or Girl Scouts for various reasons. It may be because they like the activities or they like earning badges. Some join because they like doing community service or learning leadership skills. Some join because it is a family tradition or they join because they have friends in the troop/group.

Lord Robert Baden-Powell started Girl Guides in 1910 when girls asked to be Boy Scouts. He felt that girls should have their own organization. Brownies were started in 1914. They were first called Rosebuds, but Lord Baden-Powell changed the name to Brownies when the girls told him they did not like the name Rosebuds. Rainbows were introduced in 1987 in the UK.

All fun patches go on the back of the tunic/vest/sash. Only official earned insignia goes on the front.

Chalet Girl was created on 2011-10-14.

There is no information about any Girl Guide or Girl Scout organizations which call a level 'zahras'.

Oman may have used the term in the past, but their youngest level is currently called 'Brownies' according to both the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts and the web site of the Oman National Organization for Scouts and Guides.

Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) used to have a pattern and material that you could buy to sew your own sash. However, they discontinued selling them many years ago.

So, you can either purchase a sash from the council store or from the GSUSA catalog, or find a sash pattern and material that is similar to the current sash material and sew one.

Girl guiding started when a handful of girls went to a scout rally. They talked to Robert Baden Powell (the chief scout) and said they wanted something for the girls.

Robert Baden-Powell chose the name "Girl Guides" and thought that an organization for girls should be run by women so he asked his elder sister, Agnes, to help and, in 1910, the Girl Guide movement was formally founded.

Not quite, the Cub Scouts cover grades 1 through 5 and are divided into 5 ranks (Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos 1, and Webelos 2). The Brownies are part of the Girl Scouts and only cover grades 2 & 3. In order to get the Cub Scout equivalent of the Girl Scouts, you would have to include Daisies (grades K & 1), Brownies (grades 2 & 3) and Juniors (grades 4, & 5).

In addition:

The two programs are completely different. There is a shared history and the pledge/promise, law, and motto are similar, but each organization has designed its own program for the levels in their organization.

Girl Guides ages 7 to 11, in the Guides Association of Thailand, are called Bluebirds.

This question is very difficult to answer. At the first meeting Juliette Gordon Low held in Savannah, Georgia, she probably used a Girl Guide promise which was being used by Girl Guide troops in other countries.

Girl Scout Brownie members of Girl Scouts of the USA have a Girl Scout Brownie uniform to wear. The uniform includes a white polo shirt or a blue short sleeve shirt; a brown skirt, skort, pants, or shorts; and a brown vest or sash.

I don't think it is embarrassing if you have a good group and have fun while you do it. If your group does a lot of charity work and fun activities then nothing could be cooler! I wish I was still in it.

The Brownsea Island Scout camp was a boys camping event on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour, southern England, organised by Lieutenant-General Baden-Powell to test his ideas for the book Scouting for Boys. Boys from different social backgrounds participated from 1 August to 8 August 1907 in activities around camping, observation, woodcraft, chivalry, lifesaving and patriotism. Recognised as the world's first Scout camp, the event is regarded as the real origin of the worldwide Scout movement. [Source: Wikipedia]

The name of Juliette Gordon Low's cousin was Nina Anderson Pape, who was a school principal.
