Junior Badges

These activities were assembled by Palo Alto volunteers and are retained here for historical reference. Unfortunately, because GSUSA and our GSNORCAL Council have now transitioned to the Journeys program materials, we are no longer able to provide any assistance in obtaining the badges/patches girls could earn in conjunction with them.

These are groups of different kinds of Junior Badges(see below for an alphabetical list of badges). For each badge we describe the requirements and a list of resources (documents, links, field trip reports, etc.) The second 5 tabs are visible here, and the Web page will reload for the first 5 tabs.
