"The Girl Scout Way" Video Contest - Second Run!
We had so much fun, we're doing it again! Please join us by sharing your passion for Girl Scouting with others in our community. Create a "How To" video and submit it by May 19th. Winners will get a hands-on tour of the post-production editing studio, Post Factory. Enter now or you'll never know if you've got the winning video!
World Thinking Day Award Placement
As many of you know, the World Thinking Day award is now an OFFICIAL Award. Because it is official, this award may be worn on the front of the official uniform sash or vest in the same area where the badges go, which is the same side as the Girl Scout Council identification set. The other side of the vest has been designated for the Journey awards (which are placed above all other badges on the sash). On the Daisy uniform, it can either go below the journey awards on the tunic or underneath the identification set on the Daisy vest. More info on badge placement
