DD joined Brownies a year ago. She was full of enthusiasm about what badges she wanted to work towards, so I invested in the wider sash and started sewing them on in two rows of squares rather than a zigzag row of diamonds so more would fit on. The pack have also done lots of challenge badges (jubilee challenge, Sangam etc) which I've sewn on the back. With two years of Brownies left, the sash is now almost full, even though I've sewn the badges as close together as possible. Which of the following options would be best:
- sew the 'fun' badges on to a gilet (even though no-one else in the pack does this) making more room for 'earned' badges
- transfer the oldest badges on to her camp blanket so she only wears the newest ones on the sash
- buy a second sash to be worn across the first (on the opposite shoulder) and start sewing the newest badges on to this. Has anyone actually done this? Would it look ridiculous?
Any advice gratefully received, especially from Brownie leaders or parents who have experienced this. Thanks.
