The Girl Scouts of the USA have five age levels: Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette, and Senior. Girl Scouts move or "bridge" to the next level usually at the end of the school year they reach the age to advance. Years and levels are shown on the uniform by small golden membership stars (one per year) with colored background discs to represent level. It has been suggested that Mariner Scout be merged into this article or section. ...

Daisy is the initial level of Girl Scouting. Named for Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low, Daisies are aged 5-6 (Kindergarten-Grade 1). They typically meet in groups of 5-10 and have one or two leaders. Daisy Scouts earn Learning Petals and Participation patches for their uniform, which consists of a light blue tunic and a blue membership disk. They use the Daisy Girl Scout Activity Book to work on badges, and do not sell Girl Scout cookies. Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts of America in 1912. ...

The Bronze Award is the third highest award in Girl Scouts of the USA. It was introduced by GSUSA in 2001, and can only be earned by Junior Girl Scouts. ...
Cadette Girl Scouts Cadettes — typically aged 11-14 (Grade 6-Grade 9) — form the start of the Studio 2B program. Cadettes earn Interest Projects and wear khaki sashes or vests as uniforms, along with white membership disks.

Cadettes can opt to use the STUDIO 2B Focus books and earn charms for their Studio 2B charm bracelets or slides for their uniforms. Cadettes are eligible to earn the Silver Award.

History When it started in 1912 the program was for girls ages 10-17, but it soon divided into three levels. Brownies for younger girls (and based on a program developed in England in 1914) was officially recognized in the mid 1920s. At the same time older girls (over 18 or over 16 if First Class Scouts) became known as Senior Scouts.
In 1938 age divisions were set as
- Brownies (ages 7-9)
- Intermediates (ages 10-13)
- Seniors (ages 14-17)
In 1963 this was rearranged to - Brownies (ages 7-9, later 6-9)
- Juniors (ages 9-11)
- Cadettes (ages 11-14)
- Seniors (ages 14-17)
In 1984, the Daisy program for kindergarteners (age 5) was introduced, and around 2003 the Studio 2B program for girls 11-17 was introduce-- though many girls still call themselves Cadettes and Seniors. Studio 2B is a level of Girl Scouting for girls ages 11 to 17 created by the Girl Scouts of the USA originally to replace Cadette and Senior Girl Scouting. ...
