Girl Scouts at each level have one required element for the display of official pins and awards (tunic,
sash or vest.)
For girls in grades Kindergarten through 12, the unifying look of the Girl Scout uniform includes
wearing a choice of a tunic, vest or sash for displaying official pins and awards, combined with their
own solid white shirts and khaki pants or skirts. Girl Scouts in high school can also wear a scarf that
unites their look with the sisterhood of Girl Scouts around the world.
For adult members the unifying look of the uniform is a Girl Scout official scarf, or tie for men, worn
with the official membership pins, combined with their own navy blue business attire.
Girl Scouts at the Daisy and Brownie levels also have a full uniform ensemble available including pants,
shirts and skorts etc.

Official representation of pins and awards should include a 5-digit troop or group number and GSWPA
Council ID strips.
Uniforms are recommended for regular meetings, outings, etc.
