Girl Scout Troop 1806, based in Durham, North Carolina, is a multi-level troop for girls who are in Kindergarten through sixth grade.  Troop 1806 is based in south central/southwest Durham, but draws girls from the Durham-Chapel Hill area.

After our program-level bridging in May, Troop 1806 has approximately 40 registered girls who are currently divided into three patrols:  a mixed 3rd/4th grade Brownie/Junior patrol (the Incredible Angels), a 5th grade Junior patrol (the Leaping Tree Frogs), and, for the first time in several years, a 6th grade Cadette patrol, resulting from the recent bridging and merger of two Junior patrols (the Pink Roses and the Moonlight Sparkles).  Most of our patrols meet meet two or three times a month during the school year, with three quarterly troopwide meetings and one troopwide bridging in May.

Girls and Boys in Scouting:  Troop 1806 is exclusively for girls in Kindergarten 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.

Daisy Girl Scouts:  Troop 1806 girls in Kindergarten- 1st grade are known as Daisy Girl Scouts.  At the current time, Troop 1806 does not have any Daisy Girl Scouts, but our interest list is now open for girls rising to K-1 to join Troop 1806.  This new K-1 Daisy patrol already has leaders, with a opening limit on patrol size to 6 girls. 

Brownie Girl Scouts:  Troop 1806 girls in the 2nd and 3rd grades are known as Brownie Girl Scouts.  Troop 1806 currently has the mixed 3rd/4th grade Brownie/Junior  patrol.  This patrol doesn’t have room to add new girls, but Troop 1806 is always open to forming new patrols. 

Junior Girl Scouts:  Troop 1806 girls in the 4th and 5th grades are known as Junior Girl Scouts. Troop 1806 currently has one mixed 3rd/4th grade Brownie/Junior patrol, and one 5th grade Junior patrol. These patrols don’t have room to add new girls, but Troop 1806 is always open to forming new patrols.  

Cadette Girl Scouts:  For the first time in many years, Troop 1806 is now open to Cadette Girl Scouts.  Cadettes are Girl Scouts in grades 6 through 8.  Troop 1806 has one 6th grade Cadette patrol, resulting from the post-bridging merger to two former Troop 1806 Junior patrols. This Cadette patrol doesn’t have room to add new girls, but Troop 1806 is always open to forming new patrols. 

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 Scouts BSA (for boys in grades 6-12).  Girl Scout Troop 1806 has partnering or association relationships with a Cub Scout pack and a Scouts BSA troop.  For more information on Cub Scouting and Scouts BSA, you can visit their respective websites here:  Cub Scout Pack 451 and Troop 451.

I will do my best to be
    honest and fair,
