Year 1 - Juniors: Discover & Lead

Welcome to Juniors! Your Awesome Year as a Girl Scout Volunteer!

Follow this plan for a fun and easy experience. Look for council or service unit events (or helpful parents!) to help you complete these activities.

Fourth grade Juniors are excited to discover more of their world and lead the way to a bright future. Whether they’re planning an epic outdoor adventure or learning how to flex their leadership skills online, they’re ready to take charge and make big things happen. This guide will help you as your Girl Scouts explore activities focused on discovery, confidence, and practical skills that will help them be their best selves. When you use this plan to map out your 90-minute meetings and activities, you’ll see just how simple it can be to make a huge difference in your Girl Scouts’ lives. Get ready for a year of adventure and excitement as you help them grow. Step-by-step instructions for these badges can be found free in the Volunteer Toolkit at mygs.girlscouts.org.
