Thinking Ahead to Brownies for a Minute

I recently went to a Brownie training in preparation for next year. We have a mix of Kindergarten and 1st graders in our Daisy troop. So next year I will follow my daughter to Brownies. We want to keep the troop together and plan to meet in rooms next to each other. We have talked about opening the meetings together, then splitting so we can work on our separate programs. Hopefully we can work on coordinating journeys and have activities we can work on together.
I needed a Brownie binder for the training and the leader guides for the journeys. Well, I found out that each journey had coordinating badges. Wow! This has totally changed since I was a Brownies in the 1980's. I miss having to purchase just a badge book.
Anyway, I ended up picking up all the badge requirements with everything else. I got to thinking that it would be handy to have a badge tracker for each girl in the troop. I have one for Daisies, but couldn't find one I like for Brownies. So I made this one for the Legacy Badges, Financial Literacy & Cookie Business Badges. (Hoping to create more of these soon!)

Hi, Welcome!

I am currently a Daisy GS leader and have been getting ready for our badge ceremony this week. I like to give the girls a certificate for each item they earn. I find a lot of help for making these on Pinterest from awesome people who spend time and make stuff. Sometimes though, we earn stuff that there isn't an easily available certificate. So I make one myself.
We recently worked on the WAGGGS World Thinking Day Patch available from wagggs.org (requirements there too). I made a certificate for this patch, here it is...
