Hey y’all, today we talk the maker badges! Did you know the creation of them was sponsored by Stanley Black & Decker? We didn’t! We go over the discourse around these badges as they turn a year old, and discuss how we have led them for our girls.

Hey! It's Abby just popping in to say thank you to all our supporters, to those of you who have pointed out audio quality issues, we should have them resolved going forward! Thanks for you continued support!

This week Awe discuss what it’s like being the leaders of a multi-level troop.Speficially how we got there, why we made the decision we did, and how to do combined badgework.
