Girl Scout Troop 1806, based in Durham, North Carolina, is a multi-level troop for girls in the first grade through sixth grade. Troop 1806 is a member of the North Carolina Coastal Pines Council of the Girl Scouts of the USA.
Girls and Boys in Scouting: Troop 1806 is exclusively for girls in the first grade through sixth grade. See the rest of this page (below), and the navigation bar on the left, for information on Girl Scouting with Troop 1806. For information about boys in Scouting, click here.
Troop 1806 has 66 active girls divided into one 1st grade Daisy Patrol (Daisy Meadow Patrol), two 2nd grade Brownie patrols (Beautiful Brownies Patrol and Chocolate Chip Brownies Patrol), one 3rd grade Brownie patrol (Blasting Brownies Patrol), one mixed 4th-5th grade Junior patrol (Emerald Phoenix Patrol) and one (6th-grade only) Cadette patrol (Tawny Owls Patrol). The Daisy patrol, as well as all three Brownie patrols, have each reached at least 10 girls each, and are now full. The Junior Patrol is at eighteen girls, but is willing to take up to 2-3 more girls. The Cadette patrol has four girls, is looking to grow, and is actively accepting new members. Girls wanting to join Troop 1806 now, in a grade-level that is currently full (such as the Daisies and Brownies), would need two adults to step forward to become leaders. Those girls and their leaders would then be able to form a new patrol within Troop 1806. Information and procedures for joining Girl Scouting in general, or Troop 1806 in particular, are set out on our Joining Girl Scouts page. Each Troop 1806 patrol meets weekly, and all the Troop 1806 patrols meet together once a month as one big troop.
 Troop 1806 girls in the first grade are known as Daisy Girl Scouts. Troop 1806 has one patrol of Daisy Girl Scouts. The Daisy patrol has 11 members, and is now full, and not accepting new members.
 Troop 1806 girls in the second and third grades are known as Brownie Girl Scouts. Troop 1806 has two patrols of 2nd grade Brownie Girl Scouts and one patrol of 3rd grade Brownie Girl Scouts. All three Brownie patrols have at least 10 girl members each, which means that they are full and not accepting new girls.
 Troop 1806 girls in the fourth and fifth grades are known as Junior Girl Scouts. Troop 1806 has one patrol of Junior Girl Scouts. The Junior patrol has 18 girl members, but is willing to accept up to 2-3 more girls.
 Troop 1806 girls in the sixth grade (starting fall 2011) are known as Cadette Girl Scouts. The Cadette patrol has 4 girl members, and is still accepting new members.
Boys in Scouting: Girl Scouting is exclusively for girls. Boys interested in Scouting can join the Cub Scouts (for boys in grades 1-5) or the Boy Scouts (for boys in grades 6-12). Girl Scout Troop 1806 partners with our friends in Cub Scout Pack 451 and Cub Scout Pack 486 on some activities, and Cub Scout Pack 469 is chartered by our troop’s sponsor. For more information on Cub Scouting or Boy Scouting, visit their respective websites here: Cub Scout Pack 451, Cub Scout Pack 486, Cub Scout Pack 469, and/or Boy Scout Troop 451, or the Durham Cub/Boy Scout District website.

The Girl Scout Law:
I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,

respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.
