In 2011, GSUSA launched a comprehensive update to the Girl Scout badge program, introducing new badge categories, Journeys, and a refreshed structure for all levels. This program remains the foundation of Girl Scouting today. On The Badge Archive, any badge labeled “2011” refers to this current program, unless clearly marked as Retired.
