The Badge Archive

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.

Badges that correlate from other levels

• D/B Promise Center and 2 Petals and Brownie A World of Girls 4 Meeting Plan
  • Promise Center/A World of Girls Part 1
  • Honest and Fair/A World of Girls Part 2
  • Friendly and Helpful/A World of Girls Part 3
  • A World of Girls Part 4 is a Take Action Plan (TAP) that each troop must plan individually.
    • Daisies should also participate so they have a TAP to apply to their Welcome to the Daisy Flower Garden Journey that can be done once all petals are earned.
• D/B Courageous and Strong Petal for Brownie Senses
• D/B 3 Petals and Brownie Manners 2 Meeting Party Plan

Troop Leader Mom made a blog post with helpful suggestions of Brownie badges that go well with different petals.

The new petal requirements are centered around practicing the different law lines in various ways. Therefore, there are no direct matches to badges in other levels as you can simply “theme” a badge in a different level to the Girl Scout Law theme of the petal Daisies are earning. The old 2011 requirements are listed on the Flower Friends Petal Pack page.

• Promise Center – Girl Scout Promise
  Often done with GS Way badge of various levels.
• Petal – Honest and Fair
  Anything that can show being fair or can tie into a lesson of honesty.
• Petal – Friendly and Helpful
  Anything with a service aspect or being nice.
• Petal – Considerate and Caring
  Anything showing kindness.
• Petal – Courageous and Strong
  Anything that takes courage to do – even if it’s just trying something new.
• Petal – Responsible for What I Say and Do
  Anything where they learn there are consequences.
• Petal – Respect Myself and Others
  Anything where they learn about themselves and others.
• Petal – Respect Authority
  Any meeting where there is someone like a guest speaker they need to learn to respect.
• Petal – Use Resources Wisely
  Anything where they reuse and item something to make something.
• Petal – Make the World a Better Place
  Anything where they help, give service, or clean up a meeting area.
• Petal – Be a Sister to Every Girl Scout
  Anything where treating each other nicely comes into play.

For example if a multi level was doing Trail Adventure for all levels, but also wanted to earn the petals with the badge, you could do several things:

• Connect hiking with taking care of your body (stretching, water, etc.) – counts towards Respect Myself & Others
• Leave No Trace (depending on how you do it) – counts towards Responsible for what I say and Do, Respect myself and others, Use Resources Wisely, or Make the World a Better Place.
• Challenge to turn over a rock and see what lives underneath – counts towards Courageous and Strong
• Lead the way part of the trail – counts towards Courageous and Strong
• Learning and Practicing the Buddy System on the hike – counts towards Sister to Every Girl Scout, Responsible for What I Say and Do, or Courteous and Kind
