Presenting new badges that spark her imagination.
There are now new ways for Girl Scouts of all ages to explore their
world, whether online or unplugged!
The newest class of badges take on even more topics that Girl Scouts
and their families care about such as building on lifelong money
management skills, developing a better understanding of the GS Law,
learning how current interests align with jobs in STEM, and helping
heal our world through action.
Earning the badges is also
easier than ever: based on feedback from girls, volunteers, and
families, the new badge booklets now include a volunteer guide and
printable activity pages for girls, as well as new badge overviews in
the Volunteer Toolkit and fun and fast badge introductions in
gsLearn.
Math in Nature (Daisies through Juniors)
After a year of learning inside, it’s time to get outdoors! The new
Math in Nature badges build on one another as Girl Scouts learn about
shapes, numbers, and design in nature. They’ll plan a hiking
adventure, create trail maps, and design a bird feeder—all while
learning math concepts and how they apply outside the classroom.
The new Math in Nature badges also boost girls’ interest and confidence in
STEM (PDF); they’re more likely to connect with STEM concepts
when they’re linked to things they love, such as outdoor time and
helping others.
Meet the new Girl Scout badges:
Financial Literacy (Daisies through Ambassadors):
Gain control of your financial success. The modernized
Financial Literacy badges aim to develop confidence
in money matters. Girl Scouts will understand the value of money, know
the importance of budgeting, and learn how to plan for the future.
These skills are essential at any age.
Daisy Petal (Daisies):
The Daisy Petals offer a new and fun way for girls, parents, and
volunteers to navigate the first two years of Girl Scouting. These new
activities help build on the existing inventory of Petal programming.
Brownie Pets Badge (Brownies):
Do you have what it takes to be a pet owner? An updated version of
the Brownie
Pets badge will teach you what you need to know
about caring for your furry friend.
STEM Career (Daisies, Seniors, and Ambassadors):
Connect the dots and learn how your passions and skill set can mean
a career in the STEM industry.
Global Action Award (All Ages):
The Global Action Award has Girl Scouts in the front seat by
empowering them to take action in their communities. Learn about the
environment and global poverty, raise awareness, and join in the
effort of creating a better world.

Girl
Scout Partnership wth the FBI
Girl Scouts and the FBI are teaming up in support of Girl Scout STEM
programming by offering councils the opportunity to collaborate with
FBI Community Outreach Specialists within FBI field offices to offer
Girl Scouts across the country access to STEM-related speakers,
resources, and host in person or virtual events.
FBI employees will deliver interactive presentations and facilitate
activities within Girl Scouts’ current STEM and cybersecurity
programming to earn various existing badges. Participating Girl Scouts
will also learn about the mission and work of the FBI and its
STEM-focused career offerings. Learn more about the FBI by visiting
FBI.gov.
We will also provide additional programming assets and information
in the early Fall as we finalize collaborative materials to help FBI
Field Agents facilitate Girl Scout programming, such as cybersecurity
and STEM career exploration badges.
