Need Large Quantities<br />

When needing large quantities (more than 48 badges, fun patches, more than six <strong>of</strong> anything else,such as gift items, clothing items<br />

except sashes and vests), please call and place your order at least four weeks in advance in order to ensure that we will have su�cient<br />

stock to meet your needs.<br />

<strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> Catalogs<br />

New <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> catalogs are shipped each year (one per household) in July and August to all registered girls and adults. Extra copies<br />

are usually available for new members in each <strong>of</strong> our stores.<br />

Please support your local stores. Remember, when you shop GSGATL-owned and operated stores all proceeds return to local girl<br />

programs. Our stores strive to provide you with one-stop-shopping for most <strong>of</strong> your <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> needs! We thank you in advance for<br />

supporting GSGATL stores. Your comments and questions are always welcome.<br />

Licensing/Vendors<br />

To protect the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> brand, volunteers should consult with the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> Badge & Sash Store manager for any merchandise with<br />

the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> name, logo or trademark. If you need customized <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> merchandise for any event or activity (e.g. Day Camp,<br />

service unit event), the store manager will assist you with your needs. <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong>s <strong>of</strong> the USA requires that only licensed vendors use<br />

the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> name and logo for events with fees.<br />

<strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> Trademark<br />

Protecting the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> trademark is important to all <strong>of</strong> us and ultimately bene�ts everyone in <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong>ing. As councils work<br />

with vendors, your support and vigilance will help ensure that all <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> communications—visual, print, �at or three<br />

dimensional—speak with one voice. The marks and insignia <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong>s are our cherished birthright to be displayed with pride<br />

and used to identify local <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> councils and their activities to the general public. Thus the responsibility for protection <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Girl</strong><br />

<strong>Scout</strong>s <strong>of</strong> the USA trademark and service marks are tw<strong>of</strong>old; it lies with both the national organization and local councils.<br />

To prevent the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> name and trademarks from being lost—that is, becoming a generic nonproprietary name—the National<br />

Board approved a clear trademark policy. Implementing this policy requires cooperation between GSUSA and <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> councils:<br />
