Kaper Badges

I got the idea for these kaper badges a A Life in Balance.  I love the idea because the girls can easily remember their assigned job for each meeting and I don't have to haul a big poster board kaper chart with me!  :)

I found badge holders with lanyards at JoAnn in the teacher's section.  They were $6 for a pack of 12.  Even better with a coupon, of course.  They come with cardboard inserts that can be written on or decorated.  I printed out my designs and glued them to the cardboard and slipped them in the holders.  Very easy and I think they look great.

We are Brownies this year, so I grabbed some Brownie badge images from the badge explorer page, and added the kaper names I wanted.  We've decided to do proper flag ceremonies at our meetings this year, so I have a number of badges for that.  All of our girls will be responsible for cleaning up, so I just have an inspector to make sure everything looks great before we leave.

I included the flag ceremony commands, Girl Scout promise, and Girl Scout law on the back of the corresponding badges.  That way, the girls will have a handy reference if they forget the words.
