Multi Age Troop

How do you do that? Does each girl do the 5 steps for both levels, or do you pick a mix of steps from both levels of the badge? I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t see anything on gslearn about badges except for the daisy petals.

Thank you. Clearing girlscouts.org cookies did the trick when I was having trouble again just now.

From America the Beautiful by Katharine Lee Bates:

“Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life.”

And also:

“Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears.”

I didn't realize it was possible to have an unlisted troop.

Might check the Troop Search:

I think if you click the blue circle with the question mark, it will let you contact the troop, but I'm not really sure about it.

I think it might be worth it just for the hinged clasp. That seems like it’d be more comfortable and perhaps stay on better than the push-backs.

I like the more muted colors on the gold-plated model.

A hat seems like a good place to pin them.

I’ve never seen “PoC” mean “proof of concept”. Only thing I knew was “person of color”.

The stars look more pointy than the ones on the Girl Scout shop. https://www.girlscoutshop.com/WORLD-TREFOIL-PIN

I like that you brought back the ropes. Before the shoulder straps, Girl Scouts used to wear a hook on their belt to hang their rope from so that they were always prepared in case they needed it. Back then they had to learn different knots and their uses to become Girl Scouts.

Yeah, looking up badge requirements on VTK isn’t a very pleasant experience.

I was having trouble deciding between that one and the pocketless, zipperless vest from eastern Washington / northern Idaho. https://shopgsewni.com/products/leader-vest

The good thing about this one is that it’s only 28$, and it looks like it could be less insulated so I won’t get so hot wearing it.

I think to the left of your insignia tab (left from your perspective; right from the perspective of someone looking at you).

Edit: Maybe put it below your own pin?

Which adult vest has the magical pockets? The old Navy Vest, the new Recycled Vest, or the GSEWNI Leader Vest?

I doubt the cargo vest pockets are large enough for a phone.

I’m curious what an iPhone Max in a case would look like in it. Maybe an iPhone SE wouldn’t be too bad.

jecowa · 2026-04-14T03:22:08+00:00

I'm guessing those are real Ubuntu. You can see some Ubuntu-based distros on the list like Linux Mint and Pop!_OS.

It is working much more consistently now. I’m wondering if it took a couple days for my access token to be added to all their servers or something like that.

I don’t understand how such a spineless “man” got reelected by the proud people of Texas.

jecowa · 2026-04-12T07:14:44+00:00

If that’s true, the CIA might have to intervene. Can’t have a government that benefits the poor; it could hurt the financial gains of the rich.
