Do you love to practice your backstroke in the town pool? Would you love to learn how to make your own jewelry? Do you like to gaze up into a dark summer night and point out the constellations to your family or friends? Do you dream about hitting a home run during your next softball game? Would you like to camp overnight with your Girl Scout troop? Do you enjoy the challenge of a new computer game? If some of these ideas interest you, then you are going to love doing the badges in this book. By working on the activities in the badges, you will get a chance to learn new hobbies, practice new skills, or improve the ones you already know. Earning badges is one of the truly unique things about being a Junior Girl Scout.
