We’re
excited to announce that girls and adults overwhelmingly selected Outdoor
Explorer as the topic for the next series of outdoor badge offerings!
In
the month of November, Girl Scouts of the USA began the polling process for the
Girls’ Choice Outdoor Badges by giving girls the option to vote on three
themes: Outdoor Recreation, Outdoor Environment and Outdoor Survival.
Outdoor
Recreation won.
Then
in December, girls selected their favorite topics from options within Outdoor
Recreation. The choices were: Outdoor
Challenge, On or in the Water and
Outdoor Explorer.
Outdoor
Explorer was the clear front-runner.
Now
the real work begins! We are rolling up our sleeves to begin the work of
writing the badge activities. Each badge will have five steps and three choices
per step. It’s a long process to write badges but we will make sure that they
are girl approved!
So
keep your eyes on March 12 when final badge activities will be announced!
