The clover stands for the three elements of Guiding:

people- developing friendships, caring and understanding

practical- learning some skills that will help you through life

physical- and growing fit, healthy and strong

In addition:

The clover shape is also called the Trefoil.

The three leaves of the trefoil stand for the three parts of the Girl Guide/Girl Scout Promise as originally laid down by the founder. Although each member organization of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) has its own version of the Promise, they all include the same three basic parts as laid down by our Founder, Lord Baden-Powell.

1) to do my duty to God and country

2) to help other people

3) to live by the Girl Guide/Girl Scout Law

Can you design Girl Scout Brownie badges?

There is a badge called a "Troop's Own" where a troop may come up with their own requirements and then order a blank badge which may then have a design put on the badge. There are also badges called "Council's Own" that are for something that would be specific to that particular council. A troop may write the requirements and design the badge, then submit it to their local Girl Scout council for approval as a "Council's Own" badge. It is also possible to suggest a badge to Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). The requirements and badge design must be submitted to the local council which will then determine if it should be sent on to GSUSA for possible approval. Note: with the new books, "The Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting" being released in September of 2011, this process may change.
