Patches & Other Recognitions

The insignia on a girl's uniform are a record of her adventures and accomplishments as a Girl Scout. In addition to those offered by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America, the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital has developed recognitions that allow girls to further explore certain topics.

Girl Scout recognitions can be divided into four main groups:

GSCNC Patches & Council's Owns - recognitions created by GSCNC; includes Be A PAL, Bridging the Gap and Capital Currency

GSCNC Awards - awards created by GSCNC; includes President's Award and Silver Trefoil

GSUSA Awards (BSG) - awards created by GSUSA; includes Gold, Silver and Bronze awards

Religious Recognitions - awards created by non-Girl Scout organizations for religious education; includes awards for Christian, non-Christian and Eastern religions
