Girl Scout Daisy badges are shaped like flower petals and leaves. Girl Scout Brownie badges are triangle shaped. Girl Scout Junior badges are circles. Girl Scout Cadette badges are diamond shaped. Girl Scout Senior badges are rectangles. Girl Scout Ambassador badges have a unique shape, sort of a square with the corners rounded in. See Related Links for links to pictures of the badges.
