2011 – Higher Award Badge Placement

All Higher Awards (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) are placed in the same location and move up to the next level uniform.

On the GSUSA Uniform Guide, they are shown at #16 on the Junior level and #24 on the Ambassador level. Cadette and Seniors are placed in the same location as the Ambassador level image.

If you choose to get a Bronze, Silver, or Gold patch, they are placed on the back of the uniform with the fun patches.

NOTE: Swap between Level Images in the Slideshow

Sashes

Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award pins on a sash go up by the troop numbers, either on the right side of the numerals, or just underneath them above or in line with the membership pins.

Badges and pins on the front of a sash simply go in order (top of sash to bottom of sash) of Identification badges, bridging badge, pins, journeys, and other badges. The award badges are considered part of the “other badges”.

Anything that does not fit on the front can be placed on the back of the sash, official badges included. Fun Patches are traditionally placed on the back of the uniform, but sashes will not hold a lot of badges and official badges are often needed to be placed on the back.

Vests are recommended if you plan to earn a lot of badges, but you can opt to place fun patches on a tote/bag, jacket, or blanket and leave the entire sash open for only official badges.
