Jump to Journeys PatchJump to Journey 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 or on line at www.girlscoutsnorcal.org/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 or shop on line at www.girlscoutsnorcal.org/shop.
