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 Girl Scout 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.

Whether it’s splashing in puddles, searching for stars in the sky, or discovering a national park for the first time, the opportunities are limitless. Join the Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Challenge by encouraging Girl Scouts to put themselves out there with 50 fun outdoor activities!
Tree Promise
Join the effort to protect the planet from the effects of climate change. With the Girl Scout Tree Promise program, Girl Scouts can make a difference by pledging to plant, protect, and honor trees. In partnership with the Elliott Wildlife Values Project, American Forests, and The Arbor Day Foundation, Girl Scouts will help reverse the effects of climate change while working towards a better future by planting trees, helping to conserve wildlife, and protecting the environments we all call home.
Love State Parks
Who knew you could help make the world a better place by exploring a local state park? Every September, Girl Scouts head out with friends and family to discover the fun and importance of Girl Scouts Love State Parks Weekend. Not only do they get to participate in a variety of outdoor activities like watersports, stargazing, family hikes and more, but they also help make a difference by fostering a clean environment with Pick Up America. Every Girl Scout has what it takes to lead the way to a better planet for all.

Animal Observer (Daisies):

The Animal Helpers badge explores the human/animal connection through fun activities about search-and-rescue animals, emotional and physical support animals, and more. Cadettes will learn how they can give back by helping the creatures that help us.
