For the past seven’ish years I’ve been teaching the JUNIOR Drawing and Photography badges as well as the CADETTE Comic Artist and Digital Moviemaker badges around the St. Louis area, and as of 2020’ish online Nationally! I knew I was on borrowed time teaching these badges because they do change over time, and as you are well aware by now, the DRAWING badge is now considered a “Legacy badge”, replaced by something more broad and generic. I will still offer to teach this badge, however, as Legacy badges are still valid (more or less.)
In the last couple months I’ve been asked a few times if I planned to teach the new “Art and Design” badge for Juniors, and at the moment my answer is a resounding maybe! Stay tuned to this particular post as I will update in here when I have more information. I just bought the badge books for not only the Junior badge, but the Daisy and Brownie versions as well. I make no promises I’ll be able to offer anything for any of them, but at least I’m making an attempt.
LAST UPDATE: 1/10/24
Junior Art and Design
Took me a bit of time connecting the dots in an attempt to keep this primarily drawing based since that is my area of expertise, and I think I’ve figured out a coherent thread that links the steps together. For now I’m saying this will definitely happen! No idea how soon, however, so stay tuned! 1/18/24: BADGE IS NOW AVAILABLE!
Brownie Art and Design
Absolutely happening but not sure when just yet, so stay tuned! This will be my first Brownie badge ever in the seven+ years I’ve taught GS classes!
Daisy Art and Design
Right now I’m going to say no to this particular badge simply because the requirements are rather thin, and at this moment I’m not sure how I can turn it into a class. I may revisit this in the future but for now I’m shelving this one.
Make sure to sign up to my NEWSLETTER to find out when I will start teaching the Junior and Brownie badges. That is the first place I release the information!
