Be a Registered Girl Scout!
Each girl participant must be registered for the 2020-2021 Girl
Scout year.
Juliette Girl Scouts are registered girl members, in grades K-12, who are not affiliated with a troop. They participate in a way that fits their schedule, attending events and participating in activities that meet their needs and interests. As a Juliette, a girl won’t attend troop meetings; instead, she will work on Girl Scout programs with the guidance of an adult. She decides what activities to participate in and which earned awards to complete. A Juliette may also attend community and council events.
There are many advantages to participating in Girl Scouts as a Juliette:
Juliette Girl Scouts can do anything Girl Scouts in a troop can do. As a Juliette you have the same opportunities as girls in traditional troops, and are able to pick and choose the way you want to participate in Girl Scouts

Complete Girl Scout Journeys + Badges
Girls can choose Journeys at each program grade level. Journeys
guide girls towards becoming a leader in their community. Juliettes
can also earn badges, which include a variety of skill-building
activities, many of which complement the Journeys.
Attend Girl Scout Events + Activities
Juliettes can meet other girls in their area while completing
Journeys, earning badges, or learning more about the outdoors at
council-sponsored events. Service Units also offer many events and
service opportunities, which are great for Juliettes to meet other
Girl Scouts in their area.
Help Others Through Community Service
Part of the Girl Scout Law is to “make the world a better
place”. Juliettes can work on their own or with their Girl Scout
community to carry out this Girl Scout tradition. Juliettes can also
pass along what they’ve learned, gain leadership skills, and earn
special mentoring awards by helping younger Girl Scouts at troop
meetings, events, camp, and more.
Participate in the Cookie Program and Treats & Keeps
Juliettes can fund their Girl Scout activities while learning
great business skills including goal setting, decision making, money
management, people skills, and business ethics. Learn more about
Cookies and Treats and Keeps.
Earn Girl Scouting’s Highest Awards
The Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards are the highest awards in
Girl Scouting. Juliettes can earn these awards by leading a
take-action project to improve their local community.
Travel with Girl Scout Destinations
Juliettes can experience leadership opportunities and
cross-cultural understanding through regional, national, and
international travel.
Can Juliettes participate in the Cookie Program?
Yes! Juliette Girl Scouts can do anything Girl Scouts in a
troop can do. As a Juliette you have the same opportunities as girls
in traditional troops, and are able to pick and choose the way you
want to participate in Girl Scouts.
When can I get started taking orders? What do I need?
Do I need to use my own bank account?
Yes, Juliettes are their own individual troops and are
responsible for their sales and proceeds. Adults may create a new
separate account with the bank of their choice for the cookie
season and use that information in place of their personal
account. To set up your automatic drafts please fill out the Electronic Payment Form. (DUE February 1 to
pick up at Count N Go and recieve initial order rewards)
How do I pick up cookies?
Each adult is responsible for picking up their own cookie
orders at Count N Go and Cookie Cupboards.
What are the Juliette cookie rewards? Do the individual girls
receive the monetary proceeds from their sale?
Juliettes at every level—from Daisies to Ambassadors—can
earn rewards. In addition to a fantastic line-up of items and
experiences. Yes! Juliettes can earn Cookie Dough, which can be
applied to membership fees, camp, Badge & Sash purchases, and
more. “Troop proceeds” are pooled together among all Juliette
girls. The proceeds per box are used for any Juliette girl upon
request for a High Award Grant, to provide an end of year bridging
ceremony, fun activities like Movie Meet-Ups and more. This year
Juliettes will have their own special end of season celebration
for all Juliettes who sold even 1 box of cookies!
Can Juliettes host Cookie Booths? What do they wear?
Yes! Please follow the process outlined in your managers
guide to secure locations. Cookie Booths must be supervised by an
adult at all times. They can wear their uniforms (Juliette patch
instead of troop #) or any Girl Scout appropriate apparel. Need to
find these items? They are at your local Badge & Sash
store!
I still have questions. When can I ask them?
Take a look at the webinar provided; it’s a great learning
tool. Also most of your answers are in the Troop Cookie Manager’s Guide. Can’t find the
answer? Email your Juliette Coordinators at Juliettes@gsgatl.org or for
technical questions email cookies@gsgatl.org.
