Girl Scouts of Northeast Georgia

Brownie Girl Scouts

Brownie Girl Scouts were the first age level established in the Girl Scout program. Their name comes from the legendary stories of old England where little brownie elves were little helpers.

Brownie Girl Scouts are in grades 1-3. A minimum of two adults leads each troop. Brownie Girl Scouts may earn recognitions called "Try-Its." A girl earns a "Try-It" by trying out new things she has learned about a certain subject. Girls participate in community service projects and in a form of democratic self-government called a "Brownie Ring" where girls and adults make shared decisions.

Brownie Girl Scouts go on field trips and camp out for fun and education. Their adventures may take them either 10 minutes from their hometown or two hours; some trips may be overnight.

Brownie Girl Scouts participate in the annual cookie sale and calendar/QSP sale. Funds earned from these projects support the activities of the troop.
