2011 Outdoor Badges – Multi Level

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.

Badges that correlate from other levels

  • Daisy – Fun Patch (no equivalent)
  • Brownie – Letterboxer – Find boxes by directions, learn about letterboxing in public
  • Junior – Geocacher – find boxes by coordinates, learn about geocaching in public
  • Cadette – Fun Patch (Night Owl does not correlate)
  • Senior – Fun Patch (Traveler does not correlate)
  • Ambassador – Fun Patch (no equivalent)

It is not the same as the official badge, but a themed letterboxer badge has been made by Girls Love Scouting for other levels. (Girls Love Scouting announced on 05-08-2025 that production of artistry badges were going to be halted due to GSUSA legal actions.)

  • Cadette – Fun Patch (Archery does not correlate)

It is not the same as the official badge, but a themed archery badge has been made by Girls Love Scouting for other levels.

Each level has their own adventure and do not correlate with the others except when the Ambassador level choses one of the lower level adventures as one of the four adventures Ultimate Recreation Challenge requires.
