Where Do the Badges Go Again?

A few parents have asked where everything is supposed to go on the Brownie vest. Our troop earned several badges and patches last year. All of them have been ordered and should trickle in over the next two months. Here's a fast run down of the basics:

Badges are earned through specific activities. Because they show your daughter has acquired new knowledge or a skill, they belong on the front of her vest. The Girl Scouts have a specific place for each of these (see below!). 

Patches are awarded to girls for participation in events such as our Wilson's trip or a movie night. These are just for fun and are meant to decorate the back of the vest however your daughter would like. 

There will be a few other items coming home such as membership stars (one for each year in scouts), a patch to show that they bridged from Daisies to Brownies etc. 

This diagram shows every possible thing a girl could earn over the course of Brownies so please do not worry if your daughter is missing something. All of our girls have vests so do not worry about the diagram of the vest (my computer skills have failed me and I wasn't able to crop it out).
