There Are New Girl Scout Badges

Among them, a “Science of Happiness” badge (to the left), which is earned when a girl spends a month pursuing something that’s “generally believed” to bring her well-being, and then reports on how it all went down. One example of a generally believed pursuit is “being forgiving toward others,” but another should be “looking at that pretty rainbow badge,” because that is one pretty rainbow Girl Scout badge.

Other new badges include Money Manager, Budgeting, Financing My Future, Good Credit, Meet My Customers, Business Plan, Customer Loyalty, Computer Expert, The Science of Style, Digital Movie Maker, Website Designer, Geocacher, and Locavore. Geocacher? The Girl Scouts are taking over the world.
