Badge inspiration

for

If you’d like to enjoy some Brownie activities at home, this booklet will give you ideas of how to complete your interest badges detailed in your badge book.

Choose the one(s) that interest you most and complete all the requirements listed. There will be various ways to show us you have completed your badge, it could be:

Sending photos to us or bringing them with you when we next meet

Worksheets in this booklet Short videos sent to a leader of you demonstrating a new skill

Remember pages 8 to 11 of your badge book give you ideas of how you can complete the different parts of your badges, so this booklet is only to give some ideas.

Badges are flexible, and if you can show you have completed badge requirements in your own way that’s great!

Please choose to complete badges that you haven’t already earned with us, as unfortunately we cannot award the same badge twice.

If you have any questions about completing a badge, or you’re not sure about something, please contact LEADER NAME, either via email (ADDRESS) or WhatsApp message (MOBILE NUMBER).
