For information on the original Proficiency Badge program and a list of Handbooks and where to find them – check out our GSUSA Proficiency Badge Information page.
This list is currently missing the Yellow Bordered 1963-1980 Proficiency Badges earned by 7th-9th graders. We apologize for the mistake and will correct them as soon as we can.
All names of all versions are listed here, but the links might take you to a pate with a differently named badge in the title. All versions of a badge will be listed on the page with the most well-known name used in the title.
For images of the badges, we recommend looking at the Treasure Hunters Badges shop: Intermediate Badges, 1963 Junior Badges and 1963 Cadette Badges.
