Interest
Do you have a hobby? Maybe you love building model boats or, perhaps going fishing. Almost all girls and boys have some activity they like to do best.
Interest badges are great fun to earn because you choose the ones that interest you most. By the time you gain the badge you will be quite expert at whatever you have chosen. Your mother and father will be able to help you with some of the badges and when they see the great things you can do, they’ll look forward to helping you with future projects.
Read carefully what you have to do to earn each badge and practice it until you know how to do it well. When you think you are ready to gain your badge, tell Akela, who will arrange for someone to test you. Akela will also tell you what to do next.
And remember – DO YOUR BEST. You will be proud to wear a badge for which you have worked so hard. There are almost fifty badges to choose from.
