Specialty Girl Programs

Juliettes

476 Girl Scouts

Juliettes are independent members of Girl Scouts who participate with an adult, such as a family member or guardian. Last year, Girl Scouts of Utah had 476 Juliettes who forged their own paths in Girl Scouts and 152 participated in council-led programs.

Some of the efforts our Council made in support of Utah Juliettes included the following:

• Held a Juliette Gordon Low Birthday Meetup and an Investiture Ceremony.

• Ran a sucessful Cookie Season Program with 99 Girl Scout Juliettes participating, selling 29,000 packages.

• Hosted two Juliette minicamps with a new format serving 54 members.

Girl Scout Outreach

553 Girl Scouts

Girl Scouts of Utah strives to make sure that every girl who desires to be a Girl Scout has the chance to do so. Our Girl Scout Outreach program helps make that dream possible. We provide a Girl Scout experience to girls in afterschool programs, in partnership with community and refugee centers, and at homeless and domestic violence shelters, and Title I Schools. In addition, we serve Girl Scouts at community resource centers that support specific, often-underserved populations.

In the 2021-2022 year, the program provided year-round curriculum for girls in outreach troops. Additionally, our council participated in the national pilot for a partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Two troops in St. George and Salt Lake City received guidance and a focused curriculum, and they both renewed for the 2023 membership year.

Traveling Troops

936 Girl Scouts

Girl Scouts and their troops work to go on adventures throughout Utah as well as spots throughout the U.S. and abroad. Each excursion includes an element of the four pillars while cultivating community service, education, innovation, civics, or team building. Some of the 2021-2022 destinations included: Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Italy, Hawaii, the United Kingdom, Nevada, New York City, Oregon, France, Switzerland, Washington D.C., and Wyoming.
