Cadettes in grades 6-8 work to understand themselves and their values and use their knowledge and skills to explore the world. Together, they work on caring about, inspiring, and teaming with others locally and globally, and acting to make the world a better place.
Girl Scout Cadettes earn Interest Project Awards, participation patches and do good work in the world around them using the It's Your World -- Change It! and the new It's Your Planet -- Love It! Girl Scout Leadership Journeys.

Journeys provide an important foundation for each level in Girl Scouting for girls and volunteers. Just by following a journey, members will be engaging in the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (and practicing some Girl Scout traditions!). When the Journey ends, girls and their volunteers can apply what they have learned to everything else they do in Girl Scouting.
It's Your World -- Change It!

As girls twist and turn through aMAZE, they gain tips and strategies for creating healthy, long-lasting friendships:
- "I-statements" for building friendships and solving conflicts
- tips for dealing with bullies

It's Your Planet -- Love It! 
While Loving the Planet, Get Outside! Girls and their volunteers get lots of ideas for hiking, camping, testing the air, and watching the stars.
Breathe
Cadettes engage all five senses as they clear the air — while measuring air quality and acting to improve it, girls also find their flair, think about “Hair,” and perhaps try and éclair. From cigarette smoking to deforestation, they get an aerial view of many issues! As girls become more Aware, they Alert others and then Affirm their impact as they earn these three uplifting awards. Their keepsake bracelet has triple strands of wavy, cotton cord laces with diamond shaped mother-of-pearl center charm and the words: "Affirm", "Alert", "Aware".
