Info about Girl Scouts
For over 100 years, Girl Scouts has been providing girls opportunities and experiences to learn and grow. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Service Unit 81, serving girls in the Clinton Township and Lebanon Borough areas of Hunterdon County, is part of the Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey council, . We have troops in the following schools: Acorn Montessori, Immaculate Conception School, Lebanon Borough School, Spruce Run School, Patrick McGaehran, Round Valley, Clinton Township Middle School as well as North Hunterdon High School.
Girl Scouting is for girls from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Program levels group girls into age appropriate learning levels.
Bridging Poem
Girl Scout Daisies are Kindergarten and first grade. Daisies learn the Girl Scout Promise and Law and earn petals to show what they've learned. They can also earn other community and Council patches.
Girl Scout Brownies are second and third grade. Brownies earn 'Try-It' Badges by completing four activities on a particular subject matter at their troop meetings.
Girl Scout Juniors are fourth and fifth grade. Juniors earn proficiency badges by completing six activities on a particular subject matter at troop meetings and on their own. Juniors may also elect to earn the Bronze Award.
Girl Scout Cadettes are sixth through eighth grade. Cadettes work on proficiency badges on another level from the Junior level. Cadettes may also elect to earn the Silver Award.
Girl Scout Seniors are ninth and tenth grade. Seniors can begin to work toward earning their Gold Award with their proficiency badges.
Girl Scout Ambassadors are eleventh and twelfth grade. Ambassadors can continue to work toward earning their Gold Award and usually finish the requirements before graduating high school.

The Girl Scout Law
​
I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
