For an illustrated pdf of each level,  print out the Uniform and Insignia Guide for you and your Girl Scouts.

All insignia are owned by Girl Scouts of the United States of America and are protected by law for use by GSUSA. None of the insignia may be copied, duplicated, or reproduced without prior express written authorization from Girl Scouts of the USA.

All rights reserved.

What are special earned awards and recognitions?

Bronze. Silver. Gold. These represent the highest honors a Girl Scout can earn.

All three awards give you the chance to do big things while supporting an issue you care about. You might plant a community garden at your school or inspire others to eat healthy foods for your Bronze, advocate for animal rights for your Silver, or build a career network that encourages girls to become scientists and engineers for your Gold. Whatever you choose, you’ll inspire others (and yourself).

 

Also a given: as you earn one of Girl Scouts’ highest awards, you’ll change your corner of the world—and beyond. The possibilities are endless.

Want to see what Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award Girl Scouts have done to earn these important recognitions? For inspiration, check out examples via Girl Scouts of the USA’s Map It: Girls Changing the World.

Most earned awards such as badges and pins by grade level are available for purchase on our GCNWI Official Online Shop.

Special Recognition Awards and the Girl Scout highest awards such as Gold and Silver award items are not available for purchase online. Council verification is needed for these items.

 

What is the Girl Scout Official Dress Code?

Girl Scouts at each level have one required element (Tunic, Sash or Vest) for the display of official pins and awards which will be required when girls participate in ceremonies or officially represent the Girl Scout Movement.

For all girls, the unifying look includes wearing a choice of a tunic, vest, sash for displaying official pins and awards, combined with their own solid white shirts, activity shirts, khaki pants or skirts and a scarf.

For adult members the unifying look of the uniform is a Girl Scout official scarf or tie for men, worn with the official membership pins, combined with their own navy blue business attire.

SPECIAL EARNED AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS
Most earned awards such as badges and pins by grade level are available for purchase on our GCNWI online store.  Girl Scout badges, patches, awards, and other insignia should be presented, worn, or displayed only after Girl Scouts have completed the requirements outlined in the appropriate program materials.

Special Recognition Awards and the Girl Scout highest awards such as Gold and Silver award items are not available for purchase online.  Council verification is needed for these items.

Returned Shipment/Refused Delivery/Wrong Address

USPS typically will make three attempts to deliver your merchandise. When the package is undeliverable after three attempts and/or not picked up from the local post office, the order will be returned to our council shop and any fees associated with the return delivery are charged to GCNWI by the carrier.

If merchandise is returned to our council shop because the package is undeliverable after three attempts and/or not picked up from the local post office a credit will be issued for the cost of merchandise, but you will not be credited for any shipping and handling costs you may have been charged. You will be responsible for shipping costs in both directions. The refund process will not begin until after the merchandise has been received by our council shop.

If you refuse delivery of your package, a credit will be issued for the cost of merchandise only. You will be responsible for shipping charges in both directions. All credits will be applied to the payment method in the original order. The refund process will not begin until after the merchandise has been received by our office.

If you have entered the wrong shipping address on your order and you do not receive your merchandise, you are responsible for locating your order. We are not responsible for wrong shipping information provided, so please check your orders prior to placing.

Can I use Cookie Dough or a GCNWI Gift Card Online?

 To use a cookie dough/gift card payment you will simply add your card # into the “Order Notes” section on the checkout page. You will need to add a credit card number to complete your order. Your card will not be charged at that time. Once we begin to process your order we will apply the gift card number and charge any remaining balance to the credit card if there is one.
