Good Morning!

I am visiting my granddaughters, ages 9 & 7, next week (spring break) in Oregon. Their school is just starting Girl Scouts, so I am taking my old badge sash and pins to show them, hoping to get them to join. I was a Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Leader, so I have a bunch of bling.

Questions: I'd like to see what badges and badge requirements look like (partly because I have some badges I can't name). Are they available to the general public online? I am just curious. I also wonder whether, like in the old days, a girl can work on a badge on her own, or whether troops work on them together only. I realize a new program will have new leaders, so things may be slower at first, and adult-led. I live too far away to help with a troop, but my daughter might consider it.

Thanks,
Maude

Girls work on badges together or individually.

Requirements are only available for purchase at gs stores or online as far as I know. Http://www.girlscoutshop.com

The letterboxing badge is what got us into the hobby. I know finding and planting a box are two options.

I am camp mom for our troop, we have a great group of girls and moms. It's the leader and the other adults who willingly help that help make the troop for the girls. When they are excited it helps inspire the girls. :)
