Senior Girl Scouts

Senior Girl Scouts are ages 14-17 or grades 9-12. Girl Scouting for Senior Girl Scouts takes on wider experiences that go far beyond the troop setting.

As a Senior Girl Scout you can:

Participate in “wider opportunities” and travel across the country or around the world.
Take on challenging outdoor adventures like canoeing, rafting, and cycling.
Learn more about possible career choices through “shadowing” women in careers that interest you.
Become members of council committees that are responsible for planning activities for girls throughout the council.

Senior Girl Scouts may earn interest awards, leadership awards, and the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting. View Teen Girl Scout On Line Forms. As a Senior Girl Scout, you and your troop decide how much your troop dues will be, how often they are collected, who will collect them and how the dues will be spent. You can also participate in product sales; nuts in the fall and cookies in the spring. Uniforms are not required, but as a troop you may want to have a sash or vest to hold your awards. Senior Girl Scouts are the leaders and decision-makers working together to choose activities and to make sure that everyone’s feelings and interests are respected.

Girl Scouts of Santiam Council has a very strong and extensive teen girl program. Dedicated adult volunteers provide many council-wide program activities, offer guidance for older girl awards and provide information on wider opportunities (experiences beyond the troop or group setting which broaden girls' horizons through new activities, traveling to different places and meeting new people).
