Girl Scout Brownies
Girl Scout Brownies are in second through third grades (around ages 6–9). and earn triangular shaped Brownie Girl Scout "Try-Its". Try-Its are designed to introduce girls to new activities and let them try it out—proficiency is not required or expected. Their uniform consists of a brown vest or sash, with green membership disks, and the Brownie Pin. They may also wear their sash or vest with a white shirt and khaki bottoms. GS Brownies use the Brownie Girl Scout Handbook and earn badges from the Try-Its for Brownie Girl Scouts book. New Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting handbooks will be introduced in Fall 2011 for all levels.
Unlike some of the other levels, the name Brownie is commonly used with Girl Scout/Girl Guide organizations around the world and has its origin from Brownies in the British Girl Guides.
