Multi-Level Matches

Check out other badges that might work well with this badge when doing activities with multiple levels.  These are simply suggestions and may take some creativity and extra steps to earn all the badges in various levels.

A Multi-Level Troop will need to do extra steps when earning different badges across levels. It depends on how many requirements overlap. Some will only have one or two matching requirements.

If there is no badge in a level, we suggest that a level earns a Fun Patch related to the rest of the badges instead of an official badge.

• Daisy – Fun Patch (Daisy Global Action Award has different requirements for D/B/J, but the theme is the same.)
• Brownie – Fun Patch (Brownie Global Action Award has different requirements for D/B/J, but the theme is the same.)
• Junior – Fun Patch (Junior Global Action Award has different requirements for D/B/J, but the theme is the same.)
• Cadette – Cadette Global Action Award has the same requirements.
• Senior – Senior Global Action Award has the same requirements.
• Ambassador – Ambassador Global Action Award has the same requirements.

Uniform Placement

This badge should go where #25 or #26 is stated on the GSUSA Uniform Guide.

Note – The uniform guide shows Global Action Award badges specifically at #25, but it used to be that anywhere on the front of the uniform was acceptable and many scouts place them on the bottom of the Journey side (#26) to keep the skill-based badge side free for more badges as most scouts do fewer Journeys than skill-based badges

(Note – Badges and pins on a sash simply go in order (top of sash to bottom of sash) of Identification badges, bridging badge, pins, journeys, and other badges. Anything that does not fit on the front can be placed on the back of the sash. Sashes will not hold a lot of badges and vests are recommended if you plan to earn badges.)
