Badges
You earn Girl Scout badges when you try your hand at a new skill. You could build a robot, learn photography, camp with your troop, or write a book of short stories and so much more. Visit the Badge and Award Explorer for details on every badge available for a Girl Scout to earn!
Journeys
Girl Scout journeys are multi-session experiences in which girls dig deeper into interests and use the skills gained along the way to make a difference in your community. While badges show the world you’ve learned a new skill, Journey awards say, “I found a way to make a difference.” Check out how to start your journey today.
Each level of Girl Scouts offers new experiences and opportunities toearn badges and journeys.
