As part of the #LGC10 celebrations, I’m excited to introduce a new monthly series dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the achievements of Local Guides who begin their journey on Local Guides Connect in a particular month and go on to reach significant milestones within that very same month.
In this series, every month I will highlight 
Rising Stars who make an exceptional start to their Connect journey.
This is the first post of the Rising Stars #LGC10 Series, focusing on Trifecta Achievers Local Guides in February 2026.
During this month:
- 235 Local Guides earned the New Friend badge by giving their first like
- 151 Local Guides earned the New Writer badge by publishing their first post
- 121 Local Guides earned the Newly Popular badge by receiving their first like
Out of these, 59 Local Guides achieved the Trifecta milestone—earning all three badges (New Friend, Newly Popular, and New Writer) within the same month of February.It is also observed that most Trifecta Achievers are from Local Guides Levels 6, 7, and 8.
Notably, 48(81%) out of these 59 joined Local Guides Connect in February 2026 itself, highlighting the strong engagement and enthusiasm of new contributors right from the beginning.
