[quote=Anonymous]They are trying to be all things to all people. They have certainly dumbed down the number and requirements for badges and made the colors and styles of them junky and childish-looking. The Journeys are so much like "school" that my troop (all classmates) refused to do them meaning they were no longer eligible for higher awards. I did my best to change it up and make them fun, but the emphasis is on these big projects that frankly a working adult troop leader and 19 girls busy with other afterschool activities simply cannot get done. If I had a troop that could meet once or even twice a week and the kids had no other activities and commitments, it might be different. The new format doesn't work for us. My girls want to camp and earn badges for hands on things that are new experiences. They are not interested in the "business-oriented" badges.[/quote]
