Awards for Girls
Girls receive program badges when they accomplish a new skill, learn information or perform service to others. Each branch of the girl program has different badges that are awarded. Girls also receive program-based certificates of achievement from their guiders or as part of an award ceremony. There are Enrollment, Advancement, Program Completion and Awards ceremonies for girls.
