The Badge Matcher

The Badge Matcher will help you find art and craft activities that meet some of the requirements for Girl Scout badges and Brownie Try-Its. One of the purposes of The Imagination Factory is to encourage visitors to take care of our natural resources, so most activities can be used to help earn awards such as Eco-Action and Environmental Health. Since many are especially important in making people aware of the solid waste problem, they are listed separately in the Badge Matcher.

In the same way, projects can be used to earn art and crafts awards, and since some are more suited for particular badges, they are matched as well. Nearly all activities link to other Web sites that have art history or environmental information. Visit the Research Department to find more links, and for a complete list of all projects at The Imagination Factory, see All Art Lessons or Previous Activities. Please note that The Imagination Factory is not affiliated with the Girl Scouts of the USA. The Badge Matcher is provided as a service to Girl Scout and Brownie leaders.
