Is there a matching badge for Multi-Level Troops?
Rainbow Bridge badges mark important transitions between Girl Scout levels and are designed to be displayed proudly. All levels can wear these badges on their uniforms, with Daisies the exception, as they haven’t bridged from a previous level yet.
According to GSUSA guidelines, only the badge that corresponds to the current level should be worn. For example, a scout who bridges to Juniors should wear the Bridge to Juniors badge on the Junior uniform, but not the Bridge to Brownies they may have earned when bridging to Brownies two years before. Some choose to include earlier bridge badges as part of a personal tradition, but this is optional and not officially recognized for uniform placement. When done, the lowest level is the one on the bottom of the stack.
Tan Uniforms, worn by Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors, are a special case. Because the same vest is often used from sixth grade through graduation, scouts who bridge across these levels may choose to stack bridging badges. The guideline is to place them in reverse chronological order: Bridge to Ambassador on top, then Bridge to Senior, and Bridge to Cadette on the bottom.
Where does this go on the Uniform?
The Rainbow Bridging badge should be placed directly below the troop numbers on the uniform. This positioning leaves a small space above the badge for membership pins to fit neatly between the top of the Rainbow Bridging badge and the troop number badges.
