Juliettes | Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan

Enjoy Girl Scouting without joining a troop.

As a Juliette, you'll earn badges, go camping, and more on your own schedule.

Named after founder Juliette Gordon Low, Girl Scout Juliettes (i.e. Individually Registered Members or IRM) customize participation based on their availability and interests.

Becoming a Juliette is especially great if there isn't a troop to join nearby or if you want to enjoy Girl Scout programming with your family. You can start right away with activities like earning a badge or attending an event to meet other Juliettes in your area.

Badges, Camping, & Cookies toggle arrow

Earn Badges

Badges signify that a Girl Scout completed all the steps needed to earn this recognition for the new skills they learned. Each badge takes a Girl Scout through the steps of learning about the skill, practicing, and demonstrating it. Badge topics range from the outdoors to STEM, or art, and even career exploration. They’re a great way to try something new and see if you enjoy it.

Once a badge is earned, it is sewn or ironed onto a sash or vest. A Girl Scout can earn new badges as they progress through each level, with activities becoming more challenging as they move up.

Go Camping

Love being outdoors? Follow your passion and sign up for weekend camping trips as a Juliette. Camp as often as you want and meet other Girl Scouts who share your enthusiasm for the great outdoors.

Expand your horizons by spending a week at camp in the summer or exploring local state parks. As a Cadette, Senior, or Ambassador (grades 6–12), you can even explore the United States—or the world!—by traveling to other Girl Scout camps.

Start a Cookie Business

Be a boss and start your own business by participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Juliettes can sell cookies in a structure supported by our council.

Not only will you earn funds to put toward fun Girl Scout activities, but you'll also help ensure Girl Scouting is possible for other members just like you.

Silver Award

The Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette (grades 6–8) can earn. Cadettes can team up with a small group of sister Girl Scouts or work on their own. To earn the Silver Award, you'll research an issue you care about, make a plan to address it, and then take action to improve your community.

Gold Award

Gold Award Girl Scouts make their mark on the world by creating real, lasting, and sustainable change.

The Gold Award is the mark of the truly remarkable and is the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. Seniors (grades 9–10) and Ambassadors (grades 11–12) who want to go for the Gold Award build a team of trusted adults, peers, and leaders in their community to guide them through challenges and support their success.
