All you need is a needle,threadand pair of scissors.It’salso helpful to have some pins to keep the badge in place while you’re sewing. Cut a piece of thread, tie a double knot in one end and put the thread through the needle. Then, go from underneath the uniform and then go up and down along the edge of the badge all the way around, until you get to where you started.Cut the thread from underneath the uniform and tie a double knot.

For anyone on this thread that hasn't yet bought a sash, buy the gilet instead for badges. Far nicer and much easier to sew on!Each year there are different events that take place that a Brownie may get a badge for their participation. This might include a day event, Community Action Project or a Brownie Camp. A Brownie completes a few different activities to enable Leaders to get to know them as well as introduce them to the Brownie programme and rangatahi in the Unit. Once they have completed these activities a Brownie Promise Ceremony takes place and they receive their Promise Badge. Unit badges are split into the same four Exploration areas that were used for the Exploration Challenge badges. There are a wide range of badges for rangatahi to choose from including learning about safety in the outdoors and what to do in emergency situations, go on geocaching adventures, learn the skills required to camp safely, have a go at cooking in the outdoors, construct gadgets for camping practicing knots you have learnt, find hazards within the home and community and what to do for each different hazard, decode secret messages, learn about the different weather patterns and how to read these on a weather map, challenge yourself with having a disability for a day and the effects this has on daily tasks, learn self-defence and how to protect yourself, visit a Marae and learn the customs. Rangatahi also have the opportunity to perform in front of an audience, learn the science behind how things can fly, create science experiments, learn how to cook international food, learn the difference between needs and wants when it comes to budgeting, discuss why people pretend to be someone else online and how to keep yourself safe, take part in ultimate challenges to build your confidence, learn the impacts of water in the environment, learn how to make origami, and how to recycle to make an impact on the environment. A Guide completes a few different activities to enable Leaders to get to know rangatahi as well as introduce them to the Guide programme and rangatahi in the Unit.

If they have linked up from Brownies and made their Promise as a Brownie they will not make it again as a Guide.

2. Walking through an archway to become an official Brownie

Brownie leader here - please don't use glue!! If you ever need to wash the sash, it will make a right mess. Fabric glue withstands washing. That’s the whole point. Please don’t give incorrect advice to parents who are struggling.

She’s in her second hoodie because she outgrew the first. I don’t know the answer. If anyone finds the answer let me know! The Brownie Programme structure is based around the opportunity to gain three Koru Badges. These badges are the progression milestones in the Brownie Programme. The requirements for each badge are slightly different but include: Sunshine Unit badges, Discover badges, Interest badges, Whānui badges, Leadership activities and Guiding Events. Your sash was bound to fill up anyways with the size of some of those badges but to go that extra mile and buy a blanket AND fill it with badges? Congrats, that’s fame. Interest badges, skills builders and awards- as girls earn these badges they should be sewn on to any item of uniform. Many girls like to add these onto their hoodies or their badge sash. The Gold Special Activity is a chance for you to work with new people, try something you’ve never done before, or accomplish something that will extend and develop you as a person.I know I said nothing tops the feelings of leading a Brownie through the arch but THIS right here is the most sense of pride I had ever felt. You get chosen to lead your group holding up the flag through town to the church, usually on Remembrance Day. You are given the utmost amount of trust to hold the flag, despite it being so heavy we probably shouldn’t have held it on our own but regardless it was YOU that was chosen. 9. Group holidays Throughout the Ranger journey Rangers will problem-solve, accept new challenges, volunteer, advocate, gain knowledge and skills, have fun, explore, and adventure into the outdoors and your community. We live in a digital world, so considering their online presence and safety is part of Ranger Skills too.

The traditional way to attach badges to uniform is to sew them on.It’sthe cheapest way to do it and will never leave a mark on your uniform when you take the badge off to put on a camp blanket.And it’s not as hard as it sounds!I'm a leader. Our girls don't use sashes, just put badges straight on gilet/hoodie or camp blanket. If you do have a sash, usually their Six emblem goes near the top, with space for their Promise badge and Sixer/Seconder pin. If your unit has a name tape, that goes over the shoulder. The rest is up to you! You can just add them as she earns them, or have sections for Interest Badges/Skills Builders (the little hexagonal ones)/Theme Awards (larger shield shapes)/any other special ones your unit does. Many units split girls into small groups called sixes for some activities and, as your child gets older, she’ll have a chance to become the sixer or seconder, the leaders , of a six.
