The Badge Archive

Yes – 2011 Is the current GSUSA badge

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.

GSUSA has an Award Log for each level with a comparison table for all badges in similar themes. Not all badges in the same theme have correlating requirements – you basically have to earn two separate badges. We recommend a Fun Patch in that case.

Badges with correlating requirements means you can do an activity that counts towards different badges in the different levels.

Note

The Cookie Business badges released in 2021 were designed to fit naturally into your troop’s regular Cookie Season activities. That means:

• Most badge steps happen automatically as scouts participate in the sale.
• Multi-level troops can more easily earn these together without needing separate plans.
• The older C/S/A levels include 1–2 extra steps that focus on specific skills like goal setting, budgeting, or marketing.

How to Use This Guide

Below are the core topics each badge covers. Use this list to make sure your Cookie Season includes the right activities. Sometimes just highlighting these topics during your meetings and booth sales accomplishes the requirement.
