New Badge Review: Art and Design for Brownies

 


One topic making the rounds on Girl Scout leader Facebook groups is that the Brownie Painting Badge and the Junior Jeweler badges are being retired.  Since these badges are generally popular with the girls, people are looking for them and not generally please to hear this.  On the other hand, the badges are being replaced with a new series of Art and Design badges available on the Daisy, Brownie and Junior levels.  This post will look at the Brownie badge.  You can read about the Daisy badge here. 

Review: Art and Design for Daisies




GSUSA released new "Art and Design" badges for Daisies, Brownies and Juniors as part of the new program material for the 2023-2024 year.  This is the first in a series of posts looing  at the badge for each level, using the VTK plans as my source.  I have not seen the new badge inserts published by GSUSA and have no intention of buying them.  If you have them, I'd love to hear your comments.
