Explore new fun badges for the autumn and winter term

What are fun badges?

Fun badges are separate from our programme-related badges and can be purchased on the Girlguiding shop website. They don’t need to be earned but can be used for collecting or to celebrate activities girls have taken part in.

You don't need to be a leader to buy them. They can be bought by anyone - volunteers, parents and badge-lovers everywhere. You can buy them for girls, as a gift for a friend, or why not treat yourself? Just watch your badge collection grow!
