Girl Scout Council's Own Badges

Is your scout bored with the badges in her Badge book? Help is on the way! Here is a collection of links to unique Council's Own badges, patches, and more from the various Councils of the United States.

What is a Council's Own?

A Council's Own award is an award created by a certain council. Often times, the award is unique to the history or territory of the council. In most circumstances, scouts from any council are encouraged to earn the award. Unique awards for all levels of Girl Scouts are available through the various councils.

What badges are you looking for? I will try to find them and add them.

This list is growing everyday.
