Why Juliettes?

There are many reasons why people choose Juliettes, but here are some of the most common:

A troop has disbanded, but a Scout still wants to participate in Girl Scouts to earn badges, go to camp and earn High Awards.

A troop meeting time changed or no longer works for a Scout's schedule.

A Scout is uninterested in their troop's topics and wants to focus on their own interests at their own pace.

The Juliette Program offers a solution to many of these concerns and problems:

Juliettes can earn badges, go to camp, earn High Awards and participate in all the same events as traditional Girl Scouts.

Juliettes choose activities, badgework and events that speak to their passions and interests. And, they can work on them at their own pace.

The Juliette Difference

There are several unique differences between Juliettes and traditional Girl Scouting, such as:

Juliettes have access to Juliette-exclusive events that are designed and delivered by

GSGATL staff and adult volunteers. Most of these events are virtual, but there are plenty of hybrid and in-person opportunities through the Juliette Program, Council and your

Service Unit.

Juliettes can apply for a High Awards Grant to offset a High Award Project's expenses.

Juliettes can participate in specialty troops (ex: Juliettes have their own team with the

Girls Empowering Movement).

Troop Proceeds from Product Programs go to the overall Juliette program, not directly to the Juliette Girl Scout. However, sales-based "Cookie Dough" and other similar incentives awarded to individual Girl Scouts are granted individually and can go towards qualifying

Girl Scout purchases.

Supervising adults and caregivers take on facilitating and leading program materials: badge activities, Journeys, Take-Action Projects and High Awards.

The Juliette Council puts out a monthly newsletter that details many opportunities and events for Juliette Girl Scouts. That said, parents take on the responsibility of identifying ways for their Girl Scout to participate, including service unit and council events, camps, experiences and other opportunities.
