Multi-Level Matches
Check out other badges that might work well with this badge when doing activities with multiple levels. 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.
If there is no badge in a level, we suggest that a level earns a Fun Patch related to the rest of the badges instead of an official badge.
- Daisy – Fun Patch (no equivalent)
- Brownie – My Best Self – learn about body, nutrition facts, deal with negative emotions
- Junior – Staying Fit – exercise and nutritional Information
- Cadette – Eating for You – nutrient facts, info about diets, stress food, energy food
- Senior – Women’s Health – women’s health facts, emotional health
- Ambassador – Fun Patch (no equivalent)
Uniform Placement
This badge should go where #13 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.)
