Can I join as an independent Girl Scout?
Yes! Earn badges, go camping, and more on your own schedule.
You can absolutely join Girl Scouts by yourself. This type of membership is known as an Individually Registered Member (IRM). Individually registered members are also known as Juliettes, named after our founder, Juliette Gordon Low. Juliettes choose how to participate based on their schedule and interests.
Joining as a Juliette is great for Girl Scouts without a troop available nearby or who want to enjoy Girl Scout programming with their family. They can get started right away by earning badges independently or attending events to meet other Girl Scouts in their area.
Families who homeschool also find that the Juliette membership gives them access to great program activities and badge work, which aligns with national Common Core Standards and other learning objectives.
Try it out! Join us for a free Discover Girl Scouts event near you to get some hands-on experience with Girl Scouting and make some new friends.
GSCCC’s Juliettes say...
“As an individually registered Girl Scout, I’ve been able to attend some amazing events and make friends. I traveled to Washington D.C. with a group of Girl Scouts for the unveiling of the Juliette Gordon Low quarter! I am one of the top Cookie Entrepreneurs in my service unit, and I love to work on badges. Sometimes I bring badge work with me to school and focus on it during lunch because I enjoy it so much.” – Kinshaia R.
