Badges & Additional Awards

Great news! You can learn to do all these things and earn a Girl Scout badge as you go: Make your own movie, build a robot, cook food from a different country, go geocaching, sleep under the stars, write a book of short stories, plant a garden. Invent something new, paint a masterpiece, be a good neighbor, take amazing nature photographs, make your bedroom into a jungle, run a business, go on an adventure trip. Become a design engineer, camp with your troop, build a wooden bench, learn to play a musical instrument, design a website.
