I was 2 badges away from Eagle and not one of them was this easy... 😩

The hardest thing was selling our disgusting popcorn while the Girl Scouts were selling their bomb-ass cookies. Like, why? We stood no chance... πŸ˜”

Girl scouts got updated with Gacha mechanics

That would go so hard on a metal battle vest.

Adulthood is when no one rewards you for eating chips πŸ˜”

I know it is very krool

Girl scouts (and girl guides) often have patches to commemorate a fun event. The ones they earn for work go on the front of their vest and have specific criteria for earning them, but are usually more generic in appearance or don't have details about it on the patch.

This type of patch is likely for the youngest age group (4-5) and is meant to be more of a fun patch. I would also guess that the troop is in more of an urban area so there's not much in the way of a very local, small kid friendly hike.

I just learned this the other day when I was joking with my wife that my daughter and their troop got badges for things like breathing and being near things. She told me the back is for whatever, and that when they become Brownies next year, that comes to an end.

I support it all though. Gets the girls together, they do occasionally do things that resemble community service, and I eat too many goddamn cookies.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 points 13 hours ago

I would imagine it's a way to familiarize the kids to the incentive structure of the badges when they are still too young to be focused.

[–] lakemalcom10@lemm.ee 21 points 23 hours ago

I found a page about how to run the activity and I think it's a pretty nice idea for a younger or multi-level troop: https://www.scouts.org.uk/activities/chippy-hike/

chipvision? a song contest?

Is there a Chippy Doordash badge?

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 1 points 19 hours ago

Clever. I approve.

[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do they have a kebab badge?

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

The kebab sign used to have a eastern European mystical connotation before the Germans misappropriated it.

/S

They're cultured over there.

Honestly, the fact that she made an effort to go somewhere she didn't have to was a win.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Once you get there, though...

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

A hike does suggest a bit more than nearby tbf

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've done that! Where is my badge?

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You gotta fight his daughter for it.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

OK. That little brat doesn't stand a chance!

Isn't chippy a not so good slang term for women?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

In American, yes, it means promiscuous young woman or prostitute. In Canadian it means irritable or in ice hockey, overly aggressive playing. In British it means fried potato slice selling establishment (stand or shop).

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Not that I've traveled all over the US, but I've never heard the term "chippy" used that way here. Where is it used?

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

It is archaic usage. Think the roaring 20s.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 13 hours ago

Is it older or younger than "flapper?"

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

I’ve only heard it from Silent Generation folks, or people being sarcastically old timey as they playfully criticize younger women. I’m in California.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Where in America? I don't doubt it, I'm just not familiar with it. Is it possibly something that has fallen out as a slang term or incredibly regional?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

It’s a silent generation thing. It’s only used now if you’re being sarcastically old timey.

[–] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 57 minutes ago)

In British it also means carpenter.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 20 hours ago

It's super old-timey
