It took me a while to figure this badge out. It just seemed too broad. But now I really love it. In the future, I am planning to have each girl plan for a badge that they will do at the beginning of the year and check in on them as the year goes on. I hope a lot more girls will get the badge that way.
Several groups of girls can easily get this badge:
1) Girls starting a new sport
2) Learning a new instrument
3) Girls in Enrichment (Gifted and Talented at school)
Getting Started:
1) What do you want to know?
For the easy groups, it is the instrument, sport or topic they are researching in school.
2) Learn - make a plan how you will learn this
What do you need to know?
Sports it would be the rules of the game and basic skills.
Instrument, care of instrument, scales, etc
Enrichment, they usually pick several research topics each year
3) Do - put your plan into action
Sports participate on the team and practice
Instrument learn how to play, participate in school concert
Enrichment, research the topic and do your project
4)Share - talk to your adult advisor about what your learned
Sports have the girl talk about the sport, rules, basics, could share with the troop and teach them some things
Instrument have the girl explain the basics of the instrument, how it works, basic music, maybe play something for the troop
Enrichment, they have to give a presentation to their class
5) Make Your Badge
Remember:
They can earn 1 badge each year.
Girls can work together.
Have fun and see what you can learn!
