[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Relatively new GS leader here transitioning to Brownies this year...How do you all even know to look for certain badges? Or where to look? This is probably painfully obvious to everyone, but how on earth would I know to look at another Council's Own to find a patch for Bridges, for instance? (I read online last night an old post on BabyCenter about a San Francisco troop who did a CO badge from Mississippi for bridges.) How many Councils are there? I am sure there is no central location to find a listing of these, especially since they are being phased out...[/quote]

First, you need to go to training.  Seriously, you get a lot of information in the training sessions and they are free.

Second, start going to your Service Unit meeting.  Typically they meet once per month and again you gets lot of good information about your Service Unit and your Council.  As well as having the opportunity to learn from seasoned girl scout leaders.

You are part of the Girl Scouts Nations Capital Council.[/quote]

Really, I wouldn't have learned anything about other council's options through training or SU mtgs.  I learned from the baby center GS moms group and from searching the internet on my own looking for "badge" and whatever topic I was hoping to find.  And the council's correct name for this area is Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital (i.e. GSCNC).  From clowning to caving, spa treatments to exploring nursing or fire-fighting... there ARE badges out there... but as previously mentioned, Nationals is doing all they can to squish them out of existence.  If you have a specific area of interest, let me know and I may know of a badge resource.[/quote]
