Whether they’re making a work of art, or using their inventions to help others—Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors all have the opportunity to unlock nine new badges and show off their self-expression.
Encourage your Girl Scout troops to unleash their creativity and bring their ideas to life, while reminding them that they have everything it takes to build a better world!
Makers create art and design objects that are useful and beautiful. Anyone can be an artist or designer! All you need is your imagination. With so many different mediums to choose from, you’ll find one that sparks your creativity. Earning the Girl Scout Art and Design badge will teach you how to find inspiration all around, different ways to create your own artistic masterpiece and ways to share your work with others.
Every great invention started with a bright idea. Makers know how to bring these ideas to life. Then, they share their creations with others. When you earn the Girl Scout Create and Innovate badge, you’ll use your imagination and creativity to solve different problems. You’ll use the design thinking process to brainstorm solutions, create something for a specific user, and learn how to start a business to sell your innovations.
When makers tap into their creativity, they can craft objects that help others. Then, they ask others for feedback to modify and improve their creation. The Girl Scout Craft and Tinker badge will teach you how your crafts can help out your friends, family and even the world. You’ll have the chance to use different tools and materials, make a craft for someone you know, and brainstorm ways to make it even better.
