Girl Scout Ambassadors
On August 26, 2006 the National Council of GSUSA voted to change the level system of October 2008. The Senior level, which previously included girls in grades 9 through 12, was split, and girls in grades 11 and 12 (around ages 16–18) became Ambassador Girl Scouts, the new highest level. Girls in 9th and 10th grade remained Girl Scout Seniors. Girl Scout Ambassadors wear the same khaki colored vest or sash as Girl Scout Cadettes and Seniors. Their membership disks are dark blue. New Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting handbooks were introduced in Fall 2011 for all levels.

Famous quotes containing the words girl scout, girl, scout and/or ambassadors:
“I had a wonderful job. I worked for a big model agency in Manhattan.... When I got on the subway to go to work, it was like traveling into another world. Oh, the shops were beautiful, we had Bergdorf’s, Bendel’s, Bonwit’s, DePinna. The women wore hats and gloves. Another world. At home, it was cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, going to PTA, Girl Scouts. But when I got into the office, everything was different, I was different.”
