As Girl Scouts advance through their badgework, progress is saved and shared with the council. Once all required badgework is completed, a Certificate of Completion will appear under the My Certificates tab.

If you are a troop leader and would like to bulk enroll your entire troop, download the Troop Enrollment Form on the website and email the completed form to contact@victreefi.com.
