DLTK's Canadian Brownies Section
Brownie Interest Badges

The Brownie program in Canada changed this year (fall 2004) so I've updated this section to reflect that change.

I find some girls are very motivated to do the badges but as a leader I used to find that many moms would seek me out in desperation asking how they might guide their children in completing some aspect of a badge. 

I've put this section together in the hopes that it will help new leaders, moms and Brownies with some of the tougher aspects of the Brownie Outlooks.

bulletSpecial Interest Badge -- the special interest badges are "open" -- the child can do anything related that they have a special interest in -- your troop could put together a website to share their ideas for badges or other activities -- have each child draw a picture to add to the site or write up an idea.  Then have one of your more techy parents put the site together for you.  I would suggest avoiding any photographs or full names of the children, just for safety's sake -- just include their artwork or writing and perhaps a first name.  I would also avoid saying exactly where the troop is located ("a Brownie troop in Canada" is plenty of information!)
