The aim is simple, any girl that achieves over 650 points can be awarded the challenge badge, which will be available to purchase from the National Office. There are a list of suggested activities and the number of points available for each one, there are also bonus points available if they have photo proof of the activity rather than just written proof.

Everything must be documented as proof of completion, but again this can be done as imaginatively and creatively as the girls wish; they can create a Summer Challenge Journal, maybe a blog for the older ones or a simple scrapbook for the younger. Creating and compiling their journal will be part of the fun for the girls and will also be a way to keep them engaged during the holidays. If you have a number of girls undertaking the challenge why not arrange one of your first meetings back in September to be a Show and Tell night, with the girls explaining what they did and showing their journal/scrapbook?

You don’t necessarily have to stick with the activities listed below, you can use it as a guide, or not at all, the important thing is to encourage the girls to get involved, to have fun doing so, and then have a fun badge award ceremony in September.
