I never know if I should list badge ideas on the forum or just email the farm. In the past I've done both. So I thought what if we have a thread for everyone to start putting their ideas in one place. This may be easier than said, but let's try.

I'll even start.
What about a Language badge?
Beginner: research a language you are interested in and find out where it is spoken and how it started.
Intermediate: Learn to count from 1 to 10 in your chosen language.
Expert: Take a class or check out CDs from the library, but learn to speak at least 100 words in your chosen language.
The expert requirement I am a little less sure about. Maybe other folks might have an idea that might work.

Ooh, that's a great idea, Laurie! Like a cultural awareness category. That could include lots of subtopics besides language, including food, music, etc.

Excellent idea, CJ!!! I was always really annoyed that my school didn't offer that for a language credit. They started to have it as a "fun elective" by the time I graduated, but it still didn't count toward the required language credit. Bah.

CJ,
My thought behind the badge was that I intended to teach sign language to my son as he grew older. Both his Nana and uncle know it and I have a book how to teach kids. It is one of the few languages that can cross language boundaries. I know tidbits of so many languages that I have been know to intermix them in the wrong way. I said "Oui" to a question in a Mexican restaurant.

I got another badge idea today. What about an herb badge. Not exactly curing the common cold but learning different uses of herbs, peppermint to help congestion, lavender to relax. It would be like,
Beginner
Identify three herbs and their possible uses and try at least one.
Intermediate
Grow 3 herbs for cooking or medicinal uses, cultivate and use it. Share your experience on the farmgirl forum or with your chapter.
Expert
Grow 5 different herbs from the ones in the intermediate step. Cultivate the new herbs and try out their possibilites.

I like the idea of an Herb Badge. I have been wanting to learn about herbs, growing them at home, and their many uses.
Another idea for a badge would be to learn something about landscaping around your house. I am taking a correspondence course from Penn Foster to learn something new and get ideas for adding to the landscape around my house.

Chelsea,
Could we lock this thread near the top so as ideas come and go, folks will have a place for easy access and not have to go back through the threads to find it. Just a thought.
