BADGES TO EARN

[Juju]

Hi everyone!

Here are a few BADGE ideas you can earn on your own. @lillizzie24will be in charge of badge ideas we can earn together as a Troop.  @CoconuttyBuddy came up with quite a few of them. So we can start with these and go forward from here, if that's okay with everyone else?

Badges to earn:

Nature Noticer Badge: Go out to a local botanical garden or park with a list of local wildlife and flora to check off, collect fallen leaves or flowers for crafts, design maps or trail guides with imaginary creatures or monsters.  

Also, if you don't have a botanical garden near you,  going outside in your area and looking for things is also doable. 

Inspector Badge: Create a who-dun-it with your stuffies, do logic puzzles, solve riddles to create a story. 

Indoor Camper: An indoor tent style cozy area, fake fire or small candles, marshmallows. Create a new campfire song. Learn camp safety or skills. Tell your stuffies (or little friends) about a time you overcame something difficult. 

To earn badge:

* record on paper or in pictures the activities you do during your "camping" fun.  

* Tell everyone possibly how you felt during your little "camping trip" and would you or wouldn't you do it again.  

* Just enjoy and have fun! No right or wrong way to do your own experience. 

 

Snack Scientist: Build a char-cute-erie (see what i did there?) board with a little (or big!) theme, bake something delicious (bonus points if you use local produce, vegan, or something else!), design a perfect "little" meal. 

To earn badge you must do the following:

* Think of your theme for your char- cute- erie board

* Make at least 3-4 items for it

* Take a picture(s) of your board, perhaps explain what you did to create it.  How you created it.  And anything else you might want to say. 

* For the bonus points: be sure to mention where you bought (if any),  your items that would qualify for your local businesses.  (WALMART or other such stores, does not count for the bonus)

@Daddy Bear 77 You just never know!  And welcome to GWG #26!

Hi Glow Worms!

I'm hoping to get badges and what's required to earn them, up by this weekend. I want us to become officially active as of March 1st. In other words, this will be the Date that you can work on badges and they will be counted.

I'll also try and get some kind of calendar up for each month so you can see which badges are for that month, holidays, special badges (if any), and when meetings online will be and time. It looks like right now, it'll be the last Sunday of each month for our live meeting and i haven't decided what day or time well have a meeting in here that we can chat in,  basically a "where you're at on your badge, which one you're working on, if any aside from your troup badges you are doing each month, etc...  

I'd also like to have at least 2-3 more leaders, that are willing to help, if possible and for badge approvals.  So far, i know we have:

@MissAnna

@Very Proud and Happy Daddy

@Daddy Bear 77, would you be willing to help? 

@beanbean I don't know if this would be of any interest to you to help with? But if so, you'd be great to have also! 

The leaders do not have to have a Little. Just as any little that joins does not have to have a big. 😀

And if you have a big that is willing to help, Please let me know.  It would be really great if we could get an overseas big, so the little's over there Will have someone available maybe a little easier. But if not, that's okay! As long as we have a few. 

Stay tuned for further developments!

This is juju, over and out!

Hello and thank you!

I've not completely figured that out yet, but I do know that you and the other leaders would be responsible for approving badge requirements when they are finished.  For instance, if i were to work on a badge for arts and crafts,  there would be things needed to be finished before I could receive it.  A photo, short, written explanation of what was done and if applicable, what I've learned or enjoyed about the activities needed to accomplish it.  I would contact you , either under Badges and Requirements. Also, instead of me asking my Daddy to okay it,  I'll have one of y'all sign off on it.  

I'm still trying to figure out the details. I will probably leave the contact between leaders and Guides and what is comfortable for both.  

If I'm rambling lol I apologize.  I will get it all figured out hopefully by this weekend.  I really want to get this as close to being real scouts as possible but flexible enough and fun for everyone.  😀

[Daddy Bear 77]

Technically I've never been in the scouts, there was a similar thing in the church I went to as a child and my son was in the scouts but I always wanted to be in it so if I can be of help id love to. 

[Juju]

Yay! We appreciate it very much!

Yes! I've even found some ways of making badges for those that don't want to spend money on actual badges. Some fun activities for earning some badges, etc... I'm really super excited!
