(Year 2 – Original Cookie Business Badge)

Released in 2011. RETIRED in 2021 – The badge is no longer in production, although the requirements are still sold at GSUSA shops. GSUSA stores will only sell this badge until their original stock runs out. Cookie Decision Maker replaced Give Back as the new Year 2 Cookie Business Badge.
The Brownie Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting page has the information on when all badges were released.

Five steps are needed to complete this badge:

1. Find out about businesses that give back
2. Set a giving goal
3. Involve your customers
4. Practice giving back
5. Tell your cookie customers how they have helped

Uniform Vest Placement

This badge should go where #10 is stated on the GSUSA Uniform Guide.

(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.)
