GSUSA Information and Details
Find out how to take care of yourself, your family, your Girl Scout sisters, and your community—do an activity with your family to chart everyone’s special talents, play games at your troop meetings to learn how to work together, or do a fun “clue hunting” activity to learn the Girl Scout Law.
Four steps are needed to complete this badge:
- The Discover Key – To earn this award, each Girl Scout Brownie will discover:
- Their special qualities and talents
- Values of the Girl Scout Law
- Special qualities and values of family
- The Connect Key – To earn this award, each Girl Scout Brownie will connect:
- As a Brownie Team
- With their families on healthy living activities
- With their communities to increase healthy living opportunities
- The Take Action Key – To earn this award, Girl Scout Brownies will:
- Identify a community place where they can take action
- Plan to Take Action
- Improve their world by carrying out their Take Action Project
- The Brownie Quest Award – At the end of the Quest, the girls also earn the journey’s culminating award, the master lock that needs all three of their keys in order to open. Through this award, the Brownies will see that, together, their three keys—Discover, Connect, and Take Action—unlock the meaning of leadership.
