Individual Members | Juliettes

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.

After clicking on "Continue" below and filling out your basic information, you'll find our girl opportunity catalog, where instead of choosing a troop, you’ll choose "Individually Registered Member.” To find this option, you may either:

Click the search button and scroll to the last page to find the “Individually Registered Member” option, or
Type “Individually Registered Member” into the Troop # text box

Once your membership is paid for and the registration process is complete, you'll be transferred by council staff into your Service Unit’s specific Individually Registered Member group (ex. SU601 – Ind. Member). A Service Unit is a geographic area of troops and Individual members that are supported by a team of Service Unit volunteers. As an IGM, you'll be invited to participate in both Service Unit and council-wide events.

Stopping Within the Registration Process

If at any point you'd like to stop the registration process before purchasing your Girl Scouts membership, a staff member will be in touch shortly to answer your questions or provide you with more information.

Once a membership is purchased, we are not able to provide refunds, except in cases where the wrong membership year was selected, or a duplicate membership was purchased.

Earn Badges toggle arrow

Badges signify that a Girl Scout completed all the steps needed to earn this recognition for the new skills they learned. Each badge takes a Girl Scout through the steps of learning about the skill, practicing, and demonstrating it. Badge topics range from the outdoors to STEM, or art, and even career exploration. They’re a great way to try something new and see if you enjoy it.

Once a badge is earned, it is sewn or ironed onto a sash or vest. A Girl Scout can earn new badges as they progress through each level, with activities becoming more challenging as they move up.

Go Camping toggle arrow

Love being outdoors? Follow your passion and sign up for weekend camping trips as a Juliette. Camp as often as you want and meet other Girl Scouts who share your enthusiasm for the great outdoors.

Expand your horizons by spending a week at camp in the summer or exploring local state parks. As a Cadette, Senior, or Ambassador (grades 6–12), you can even explore the United States—or the world!—by traveling to other Girl Scout camps.

Sell Cookies toggle arrow

Be a boss and start your own business by participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Juliettes can sell cookies in a structure supported by our council.

Not only will you earn funds to put toward fun Girl Scout activities, but you’ll also help ensure Girl Scouting is possible for other members just like you.

Become a Girl Scout

Creating your own path, discovering your strengths, exploring new possibilities. It’s all waiting for you.
