Score Big: Earn Your Athlete Badges with Girl Scouts


We selected a few awesome badges for your Girl Scout to earn as the big games take place in Paris! These badges help girls learn how to be team MVPs by mastering the rules and ensuring everyone has a blast playing together. The best part? They get to embrace the Girl Scout Law values like being "Honest & Fair," "Friendly & Helpful," and "Courageous & Strong," just like the superstars in the big games.

With these badges, girls dive into health, leadership, learning, and teamwork through sports. While having a ton of fun, staying active, and living their best healthy lives, they earn age-appropriate badges that teach fair play, practicing with purpose, good sportsmanship, cross-training, and coaching. It's all about scoring big on and off the field!


Daisy Petals – Daisy

Connect the values of the Girl Scout Law with the spirit of the big games. By earning petals like "Honest & Fair," "Friendly & Helpful," and "Courageous & Strong," Daisies learn the importance of good sportsmanship and teamwork, just like their favorite athletes.

Fair Play - Brownie

Playing fair means that everyone has the same chance to play because everyone follows the same rules. That’s what this badge is about. You’ll learn to work together to have the most fun possible. That’s fair play!
Practice with Purpose - Junior

Even the best athletes weren’t born great at sports. They had to practice with purpose. Have fun with these activities as you learn to improve a skill—no matter what track, court, rink, pool, slope, or field you like to play on. Game on!
Good Sportsmanship - Cadette

It’s good to be an athlete, but the greatest athletes agree it’s just as important to be a good sport. When you make good sportsmanship a habit in games and in life, others want to play with you, hang out with you, and generally live up to your example. So whether you’re a dedicated athlete with a chosen sport or you just like to enjoy an occasional game among friends, this badge will help you have more fun on the field—and off.

Cross-Training - Senior

Whether you’re a competitive athlete, new to exercise, or want to improve your skills in surfing, hiking, or even throwing a Frisbee, this badge will help you customize a cross-training fitness program that’s effective and, most important, fun! The idea of cross-training is to incorporate a variety of cardio, strength, and conditioning exercises into a routine that trains your whole body. Grab your sweatband, and create a plan that’s perfect for your body, mind, and goals.


 
Coaching - Ambassador

What does it take to motivate a team to accomplish its goals? The best coaches put their answers into action at every practice. In this badge, find your answers and share them! Coaching is an opportunity to share your love of a sport, demonstrate your athletic skills, and to inspire and empower athletes to realize their potential.
