Uniforms

Girl Scouts may choose to wear uniforms at meetings or Girl Scout events to:

  • make them easily identifiable to each other and to the public
  • foster a feeling of unity among members, and
  • reinforce the sense of belonging to the Girl Scout Movement.

Uniforms by Age-Level

Each age-level has a different uniform. Uniforms are not required to become a Girl Scout, but they offer girls a space to proudly display the awards, badges, and other insignia that they work so hard to earn. To purchase uniform pieces please visit Our Store located at the Bedford Service Center or by clicking here!

 

  • Daisy Girl Scouts (ages 5-6) can wear a tunic over their clothes and place their Membership Pin, Learning Petals, and participation patches on them. They may also wear official T-shirts, shorts, or leggings.
  • Brownie Girl Scouts (ages 7-8) can wear a uniform with either a sash or vest to display their Try-Its and other insignia. Other options include the new Hooded Sweatshirt and Pull-on Pants, introduced in 2004, or various shorts, leggings, skorts, pullover jumpers, turtlenecks, and T-shirts.
  • Junior Girl Scouts (ages 9-11) can wear uniforms with either a sash or vest to display their badges and other insignia. New styles were introduced in 2001 to include jade green pull-on style skorts, hooded sweatshirts, white short-sleeve polo shirts, and khaki cargo pocket pants and shorts.
  • Older Girl Scouts 11-17 can wear STUDIO 2BSM T-shirts or the new uniform styles introduced in 2001 featuring a color palette of khaki, navy, and light blue, and parachute style pants with bungee cords, V-neck T-shirts, stretch cotton fitted blouses, and hooded sweatshirts. They may choose to display Interest Project awards and other insignia on a sash or vest, or wear the STUDIO 2B charm bracelet.
  • Adult Girl Scouts can choose from formal two-piece business suits to sweater sets and slacks to casual wear.
