Challenge book and badges for women?

6 replies

A few months back I found an online site, and book that can be delivered, with challenges and badges for women. Like girl guides but targeted at grown ups I guess.

My DM has been struggling to find motivation lately and is looking for ideas so I thought we could do this together but on our own journeys only now I can't think what it's called and every internet search is inundated with girl guides info!

Has anyone on MN come across this and could point me in the right direction?

(And yes I realise this would be some people's idea of hell but DM and I enjoy these kinds of things as long as we can do it in our way and time)

Rebel badges? I often see adverts on social media sites, so clearly some algorithm thinks I am the target market.

Yes Rebel Girl badges is what you have seen but is it also worth your mum looking into Trefoil Guild? It's related to Girlguiding but an offshoot for adults and you dont have to have been a guide a tale part. A bit like the WI, monthly meet ups, etc, but there are various awards you can work through that incorporate learning new skills, volunteering etc. https://www.trefoilguild.co.uk/

Aha! Rebel badges- that's the one!
I knew MN would be able to help me track it down!

Thanks @GuidingSpirit the Trefoil
Guild looks interesting but for NZ, where DM is, you need to have been a part of guiding previously. It would be great if they could do a senior version though.

DM has looked into a few of the local offerings but has found them to be a bit cliquey so I thought the rebel badges approach might giver her some ideas that she could pursue on her own terms.

I'm also quite excited as GG was never an option for me when younger due to timings and I always wanted one of those sashes with all the badges!

I've always felt an adult version of scouting/ guides would be great. Some people need a bit of direction and help to develop skills. It doesn't just stop at 18. or 50

@70sTomboy so true!
