A Girl Scout Brownie is in second or third grade of elementary school—a fantastic time to become a Girl Scout! Brownies learn how the world works, fall in love with the great outdoors, and share their interests—from bugs to ballet—with a small group of true friends.

Brownies welcomes all girls from 7 to 10 years old for nonstop fun, learning and adventure. Brownies is full of firsts: your child can explore their creative side, get out into the great outdoors, learn how to look after themselves, others and the world we live in.

Once upon a time, the level of Girl Scouting we know as Brownies was called Rosebuds. But the girls who were Rosebuds didn’t like their name, so they asked Lord Baden-Powell (the founder of Boy Scouting, which later inspired Juliette Gordon Low to create Girl Scouting) to come up with a new name. Back to Brownies.
