Uniform Guide




For over a century, Girl Scouts have proudly worn distinctive uniforms that symbolize the high ideals for which Girl Scouting stands. Uniforms provide unity among Girl Scouts and a feeling of belonging to a worldwide sisterhood. Girl Scouts wear a uniform in ceremonies, when officially representing Girl Scouts, and when they just want to share their Girl Scout pride. This guide is for troop leaders and caregivers and explains key awards, pins, insignia, and their placement on the Girl Scout uniform.

Uniform Basics

Daisies may choose between a blue tunic or a blue vest. For formal events, vests and tunics are worn with white shirts and khaki pants or skirts. In addition to the standard white and khaki option, Daisies may choose to wear a full uniform ensemble, which includes a beanie and leggings or a skirt.
