Badges
It is optional for any Guide to achieve a badge. The badge system is all based upon each girl's personal
challenge. Everyone has their own different idea of a challenge.
Some people think mountain climbing is a challenge, others think shooting a goal
in netball is a challenge, and for others planning their time is a challenge.
It is a very individual thing and may be different for everyone. But the
important thing is that you try your best! You may not succeed in shooting that
goal but if you practised and practised and tried your best then that is all
that matters, as long as it is your personal best.
There are three main types of badges:
There are also international badges that you can earn that
aren't in your badge books.
These are badges organised by WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl
Scouts).
These include:
