GS Grade Level: Seniors, Ambassadors
The ACES Pin
is the culmination of a yearlong commitment to advocacy, civic
engagement, and service. When Girl Scouts register, they are
signing-up for 7 months of dynamic programming designed to be
collaborative and girl led. In ACES, girls will learn by doing; from
letter writing campaigns to meetings with elected officials and more.
In addition to earning their ACES Pin, Girl Scouts will also earn the
Citizenship Badge, Civics Badge, and the Torch Pin at their program
level.
