Patch Badge
What is the difference between Girl Scout patches and badges?
Which one goes on the girl scout sash? Then, what do you do with the other?
“Badges” is the generic term often used for all earned age-level insignia, though officially, only Girl Scout Juniors earn Badges (Daisies earn Petals, Brownies earn Try-Its, and Cadettes/Seniors/Ambassadors earn Interest Project Awards). They generally have a set number of requirements to earn them, and if you look over the GS materials, you’ll find they follow similar patterns – trying an activity, learning about careers in it, learning about technology used for it, teaching others about it, etc. Some GS Councils develop “Council’s Own” age-level insignia for something unique to their region – like a lighthouse one from one of the NJ Councils (or if there’s just an area they feel is missing from the national program – like a scrapbooking one).
Patches can be received for fun events (“Pizza night” “Troop camp) or are earned through certain programs (my daughter has one for visiting Colonial Williamsburg, for example, which required she do certain activities and answer questions to earn). So, it can be a little confusing since some are earned – but the big difference is they’re not developed by GSUSA (the national organization) or by a local Council as a Council’s Own Age-Level Insignia item.
Patches are only worn on the back of the uniform, or they can be put on a camp blanket, jacket, wall hanging, whatever the girl chooses.
Earned age-level insignia have specific places they go on a GS Uniform. To see more, this page will show you where anything goes for all the age levels:
