Jump to Journeys Patch
The Jump to Journeys patch is designed to give you, as the
leader/advisor of a troop/group, a taste of the activities offered in
the journeys for the grade level you are working with. By doing the
activities and earning this patch with your troop/group you and the
girls will have the information you need to decide which journey to dive
into. When your troop/group finishes the requirements the patch is
available for purchase in your local Girl Scouts of Northern California
retail store.

Badge Activity Set Summaries
Journey Badge Activity Sets for Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes and
Seniors are available for purchase in your local Girl Scout shop.
Each
Badge Activity Set consists of five badges that are linked to a
specific journey. Each badge has five steps to earn it and within each
step are three choices. The girls may choose one or they may do all
three of them. That will depend on their interest and the time they have
to complete the badge.
It is not necessary to be working on a journey to earn one of these skill-building badges.
To
help you and the girls in your troop make informed decisions about
which Badge Activity Sets they would like to work on here are some summaries of each. Click on the title, download, and print the summary.
These are merely summaries.
To get details of how to earn each badge you must purchase the Badge
Activity Set from your local Girl Scout Shop.
Girl Award Records
The following are records sheets your girls could use (younger girls
with assistance) to update their records for the troop. Use whichever
system works best for you.
