If you could get scout badges (or guide) for adult life, what would you get

[topcat2014]

If scout or guide badges were given out for adult life skills - which ones would you get?

I reckon I could pass 'making a good cheese sauce' and 'advanced excel skills'.

Boundary setting (family) badge

Advanced fluffy waffle badge

Would love to be proficient in meal planning.

I'm very good at finding lost things, including for other DC and their parents. Last year I unearthed cricket trousers from behind a cabinet, a lost scooter from down a grimy passageway, a pencil case and maths set from the boys changing room (grim place to be!), plus umpteen lost items belonging to my own DC, including a favourite book belonging to DS1 and multiple bits of uniform. I love that look of grateful incredulity that accompanies my triumphal flourishing of the lost item
