Skill Building Badges

<-BACK
Badge Sets were developed for girls in Daisy's through
Seniors.

Girls choose the Badge Activity Set that goes along with their Journey.

The Badge Sets contains requirements for the 5 Skill Building Badges & can be conveniently stored in the Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting.

Each badge has five steps. Girls complete all five to earn the  badge. (There are three choices for completing each step. Girls need only do one.) The five steps vary depending on  the skill girls are learning.
(Badges sold separately)

Why no Badge Set for Ambassadors?

Research shows juniors and seniors in high school are interested in earning fewer badges than girls at other levels; many are pursuing their Girl Scout Gold Awards & are busy with college preparation & other high school activities.

How do journeys and badges work together?
The Skill Building badges and Leadership Journeys work together to add skill building to the leadership skills girls learn through the three keys of discover, connect and take action. Journeys are the only program resources that cover all 15 outcome indicators. Badges build specific skills and are primarily aimed at the discover—“girls develop a strong sense of self”—outcome indicator. National leadership journeys and The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting make up the program portfolio.
