So Many Badges to Earn!

There are a wide variety of badges that even our youngest Girl Scouts can earn.

Girls can earn badges with their troop and they can earn them on their own.  You’ll find guides for earning the badges online in the Volunteer Toolkit.

In addition, girls may earn awards from their own churches and girls can participate in the Presidential Volunteer Service program.

The charts below show all of the badges for each level, as of Fall 2020.  This includes the new badges released on July 21, 2020.

You can find all of the badges in the Girl Scout Badge Explorer.

Girl Scouts also has the unofficial rule of “Once a Badge, Always a Badge”.  This means girls can earn old, retired badges.  Brownies earned Try-its while Juniors earned Badges.  Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors all earned Interest Projects or IPs.  If you search online, you can find the instructions for how to earn specific badges.  You can purchase them on sites like eBay, through various Facebook Girl Scout groups, and other places online.
