Scouting - Earn BadgesNixon LibraryGirl Scout Citizen and Civic Badges
Girl Scouts can earn Citizen and Civic badges at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum. Girl Scouts can earn these badges by visiting the Nixon Presidential Library and completing grade-level worksheets. These worksheets allow Girl Scouts to understand how local, state, and federal government work. By earning these badges in a Presidential Library setting, Girl Scouts can build the knowledge they need to become the civic-minded leaders of tomorrow!Civic Badges:
The Democracy badges for Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors lay the groundwork for girls to understand both local and national government, what they are responsible for, and how they make large-scale changes throughout the country. With this badge, they will learn about how government works - from a town or city to the whole country.

As well as exploring the structure of the United States government at the state and federal levels, the Democracy badges for Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors continue the work of growing political awareness and civic engagement. With this badge, they learn new things about how each branch works, how they work together, and how each piece makes a difference in society.
