IRM NETWORK
There is a place for every girl in Girl Scouts! Individually
registered members, also known as IRMs, are girl members who
participate in the Girl Scout program without being associated with a
troop.
Girls in any grade (kindergarten through 12th) can
be an IRM where she will discover a world of opportunities through
Girl Scouts - Louisiana Pines to the Gulf.
IRMs do not
attend regularly scheduled troop meetings. Instead, with guidance from
support staff, guardians, or registered adult mentors, they mix and
match their interests to customize their year. Girls decide what
activities to participate in, what skills to learn, and which awards
to complete - all at their own pace.
By participating in
Girl Scouts as an IRM, girls have the power to build their very own
Girl Scout experience and still reap the benefits of being part of the
preeminent leadership development organization for girls. IRMs:
• Gain leadership experience
• Develop a sense of
belonging
• Create a well-rounded Girl Scout experience
•
Complete activities on their own timeline
Here are a few
ways IRMs can choose to join in on the fun!
• Attend council,
service unit, and community partner sponsored events
•
Participate in special interest groups
• Serve their community
through service projects and Take Action projects
• Earn
Leadership and Mentoring Awards
• Earn Highest Awards
•

• Explore the world through travel
Plus, all of these progressive, exceptional experiences can be funded
by participating in our annual Fall Sweets & Treats and Girl Scout
Cookie programs.
