Girl Scout Cadette, Senior and Ambassador
Ready to Become, Belong, Believe, and Build

	FROM A GIRL SCOUT CADETTE "I like being in all-girl groups because you can share things and not have to worry about somebody blabbing it to the whole school. Also, you form a bond between the girls in the group—you feel you belong." —Shar, 14

Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors participate in Girl Scouting in many ways. Under the guidance of a trained adult advisor, girls mix and match activities and resources to suit their needs while giving back to their communities. They connect with each other and build self-esteem and confidence in their skills as they work on a range of projects and gain life experiences.

Sample Activities for Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors

• Learning how to be a first responder in an emergency
• Setting goals and earning charms related to a STUDIO 2B Focus book
• Exploring their future career options with a mentor
• Spending a summer as a counselor-in-training at camp
• Rafting down Class III (moderately difficult) rapids with a river guide
• Publishing their stories online on the STUDIO 2B Web site
• Attending a Broadway play on a trip to New York City
• Investing "play dough" in a stock-market game and beating the experts
• Earning a Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouting, for working on a project that benefits their community
• Traveling across the country or around the world to explore culture, science, the outdoors, and more through STUDIO 2B destinations.

Uniforms and Books

Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors can wear the Girl Scout Membership Pin, showing they belong to Girl Scouts of the USA, and the World Trefoil Pin, signifying membership in a worldwide Movement. They can choose from uniform components for Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors and STUDIO 2B T-shirts—or do their own thing. Girls can also buy a sash or vest to display Interest Project Awards and other insignia or purchase a bracelet or charm holder for STUDIO 2B charms. Many resources are available for both advisors and girls, including handbooks, Interest Projects for Girls 11-17, and STUDIO 2B Focus books.
