2. Introduction
 Tech Wildcatters mentor Stacy Stine Cary supports a
number of community organizations, businesses, and
charities throughout the Dallas, Texas, region. Stacy Cary
is involved with the Girl Scouts of the USA as a volunteer
leader.
The Girl Scouts of the USA divides its youth membership
into six age groups as determined by a Scout’s grade
level. The age groups begin with kindergarten and first-
grade members, known as Daisies, and culminate with
the Ambassador level for Scouts in their junior or senior
years of high school. Other groups include the Brownies,
Juniors, Cadettes, and Seniors.
Each level of Girl Scouts is associated with different
obligations, expectations, and tasks to complete in order
to advance to the next level.

3. Girl Scouts of the USA Grade Levels
 For example, Brownie members of the Girl Scouts,
between grades two and three, are encouraged to
explore their place in the world and meet as many new,
diverse people as possible. This includes expanding
one’s friend group within a troop. Scouts can experience
their first great outdoors hike as a Brownie while also
engaging in typical Girl Scouts activities such as selling
cookies and earning badges.
The expectations of high school freshmen and
sophomores as Girl Scouts Seniors, meanwhile, are
much more broad. Older members of the Girl Scouts
troop may travel across the country or to locations as
distant as Costa Rica or Japan to engage in a Scout
project and potentially earn a Global Action Award. With
several grade levels below them, Seniors must behave in
a way suitable to a Girl Scouts role model. Seniors are
also eligible to earn their Gold Awards.
