Girl Scout Seniors
GS Seniors are Girl Scouts who are in ninth and tenth grades (around ages 14–16). Girl Scout Seniors wear the same uniform as Girl Scout Cadettes—however, the disks for their membership pin is red membership and their badges are square instead of diamond shape. Although they earn the same Interest Projects and STUDIO 2B Focus booklets, GS Seniors may also use the Senior Girl Scout Handbook and work on Program Aide, Leader-in-Training, or Counselor-in-Training, along with the Leadership Award, and Career Award. (4B Challenges were retired.) GS Seniors are typically encouraged to create and lead activities for the younger Girl Scouts, and to take a leadership role in organizing and assisting with Council and service unit/association events and activities. Girl Scout Seniors are eligible to earn the Gold Award. New Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting handbooks has been introduced on Fall 2011, which is for all levels.

Famous quotes containing the words girl, scout and/or seniors:
“At thirty years a woman asks her lover to give her back the esteem she has forfeited for his sake; she lives only for him, her thoughts are full of his future, he must have a great career, she bids him make it glorious; she can obey, entreat, command, humble herself, or rise in pride; times without number she brings comfort when a young girl can only make moan.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“Simone Clouseau: Jacques would make a wonderful father. He has many redeeming qualities, you know.
Sir Charles: Name one.
Simone Clouseau: Oh, he’s kind, loyal, faithful, obedient.
Sir Charles: You’re either married to a boy scout or a dachshund.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
“And seniors grow tomorrow
From the juniors today,
And even swimming groups can fade,
Games mistresses turn grey.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
