Girl Recognitions

Emblems, awards, and patches refer to items that girls wear on their vests or sashes, each of which records a girl’s adventures and accomplishments as a Girl Scout. The following list describes the differences among them:

Emblems show membership in Girl Scouts, a particular council, a particular troop, or in some other Girl Scout group.

Awards are earned by completing requirements or by demonstrating understanding of a concept. The Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards, as well as the journey awards are two prestigious ways girls can earn awards. But girls also earn Daisy Petals, Brownie Try-Its, Junior badges, and Interest Project awards and STUDIO 2B charms (as Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors).

Some earned awards take the shape of pins. Additional awards are earned through Girl Scouts requirements or are determined by partner organizations. Examples include religious awards and the President’s Award for Community Service. Note: Over the next several years, Girl Scouts will be updating the skill-building badge activities for girls, in order to tie them to the GSLE. Stay tuned for updates!

Participation patches are developed at the national or council level with a focus on participation. Some come with companion activity booklets, while others are given out at events. Some examples include uniquely ME! patches, EarthPACT patch, and World Thinking Day patch.
