Three Official Local Guides Pins That Mean a Lot to Me

Being part of the Local Guides community has given me many memorable experiences over the years. Among those memories, three items are especially important to me—my three official Google Local Guides pins.

I’m @Papel_Mahammud , a member and contributor of the Bangladesh Local Guides Community. Through my journey with Local Guides, I have been fortunate to receive these three official pins at different times.

The first official Local Guides pin came to me in 2022 .and it became one of the most memorable items from my Local Guides journey.

The second one is very special because it is the official 10th Anniversary Local Guides pin from 2025 . @MahabubMunna Bhai brought it for me from the Connect Live program in Japan . Since it represents an important milestone of the Local Guides Program, this pin has a special place in my collection.

The third official Local Guides pin came to me in 2026 from the Connect Live Singapore program , and I received it through @MohammadPalash Bhai.

I keep all three of these official Local Guides pins very carefully. For me, they are not just collectibles . Each one represents a different moment, memory, and connection from my journey as a Local Guide.

What makes me even happier is that I don’t always keep them stored away. I proudly wear these pins on my blazer when I go to different places.

Whenever someone notices them and asks what they are, I feel proud to say:

I am a Google Local Guide

These pins may be small, but for me they carry years of memories, contributions, friendship, and community spirit. I’m grateful to the Bangladesh Local Guides Community and to the people who helped these special official Local Guides pins become part of my journey.

I hope to continue this journey and create many more meaningful memories with the Local Guides community in the years ahead.

These pins really carry a lot of memories and meaning. Interestingly, I’ve also been fortunate to have the first two pins in my collection, Not officially received from Google, but gifted by our ‘Bangladesh Local Guides’ community.

As for the third one, I honestly don’t know if I’ll ever get it, but if I do, it would definitely make me very happy.

Thanks for sharing @Papel_Mahammud

MY Wall of Dreams :sparkles:

Dreams I once imagined.

Obstacles I chose to cross.

Milestones I turned into reality.

From Local Guides achievements, badges, to gifts and special moments from Connect and Local Guides - every piece represents a dream I once set out to achieve.

Dreams worth chasing. Obstacles worth crossing. Achievements worth earning.

No shortcuts. No borrowed victories. Just the journey, the hustle, and the determination to make those dreams real. :trophy:
