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.

Financial Literacy Badges

Badges that correlate from other levels

Most of the New Financial Literacy badges released in 2022 are designed to have some of the requirements overlap from year to year. This makes it helpful to earn each year by doing a review and adding 1-3 requirements. There are some exceptions where a badge is completely different than the previous year, but most have overlap. Here are the bare bones of each Financial Literacy badge so you know which topics to hit for each year and each level.
