Guide Badges

Interest badges

Guides can choose from a list of about 40 different Interest badges. If there's something you enjoy and would like to know more about, why not try doing an interest badge? Lots of topics are covered, from Circus Skills to Film Lover to Party Planner. There's almost certain to be several badges that interest you.

At present 2nd Bickerstaffe Guides are doing their Chocolate badge. However, you can do additional badges at home if you wish. For a full list of available badges see the Net Guides website under the Guides section.

Go-for-it's

These have yet to be chosen by individual patrols.

What is a Go-for-it ?

The new Guide program has a series of files called "Go-for-It" that have different themes and are resource and idea packs for Patrols to work on.

What happens is that a Patrol looks through the Go-for-Its and picks out one they all like and they work on that for at a few weeks, doing at least four things from it as a Patrol. During a year they are expected to do at least two Go-for-Its to go towards their Yearly Challenge Badges.

The Go-for-Its are in lots of different subjects and other activities that are similar may be substituted from the ones in the file, with the agreement of the Patrol and the Guider.

Examples of Go-for-Its currently available are:

	Go-for-It Parties
	Go-for-It Peace
	Go-for-It Teamwork
	Go-for-It Animal Active
	Go-for-It Healthy Eating
	Go-for-It Chocolate
	Go-for-It Football
	Go-for-It Flight of Fancy
