For moms of Junior Girl Scouts....

[paper1225]

as a former leader- here is what we did........all the girls were running out of room so we went to "sew for u" as an outing.........they have a lot of machines and teach sewing. Before the meeting, the daughters picked with their moms which badges were not as meaningful to them-we had them pick 7.........they marked them with safety pins.......for our outing we took the 7 off, and sewed them on the back........then once we earned new ones, we as a troop hand sewed them on...........the moms loved it because it meant less work for them and the girls earned another badge from it all!!

In our area ( up here in Canada) the girls are given a camp blanket when the finish Sparks. They then use the camp blanket to sew on the extra badges or sashes that are full. Its a fantastic keepsake from their years in Guiding.
