A Girl Scout Cadette puts herself out there, gets creative, and goes on adventures with friends! 

As a Cadette, you’ll think big, consider different perspectives, and make awesome memories with friends. 

A Girl Scout Cadette is in sixth, seventh, or eighth grade of middle school—an awesome time to become a Girl Scout!

Cadettes explore activities focused on discovery, confidence, and practical skills that will help them be their best selves in a year of going, seeing, and doing! From road trips and camping with their best friends to organizing an eco-friendly fashion show (and live-streaming it), Girl Scouts in middle school grades have adventure after wild adventure—while realizing their dreams, taking action in their community, and working toward the Girl Scout Silver Award.

She's going to make a great Girl Scout! Get her started today.
