GSUSA is in the process of introducing new and revised program resources. The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting, the new badge and handbook series, will be available for purchase beginning fall 2011.  The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting—to be developed for each grade level—will include a variety of badge offerings, handbook sections covering traditions and history, Cookie badges, an awards log, and much more. 

All other Girl Scout books and resources will gradually be retired. 

GSUSA will retire some current Try-It's, Junior badges, and interest project patches, and will update others. We highly recommend purchasing your awards early to ensure availability. 

Badges are here to stay. Remember, badges give girls topic- specific skill-building activities. Journey awards give girls opportunities to explore the three keys to leadership!  A line of new badges will be introduced and a selection of out-dated badges will be retired.  The new badges will combine contemporary topics of interest to girls and long-time favorite activities.
