I’ve joined an amazing group, known as the Rebel Badge Club. The above logo is © Charly Lester, who began the club because of the 2020 lockdown. when lots of people rediscovered the hobbies they had enjoyed as children, or found new ones. There are lots of merit badges that you can earn, as well as monthly challenges, quarterly challenges and patrol challenges. Oh yes, just like the Scouts and Guides, there are patrols! I’m in the Rosa Parks patrol, the others being Nelson Mandela, Greta Thunberg, Freddie Mercury, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Get the theme, rebels?
I have begun this page to record the badges I am working for, and (one day!) have completed. I will create webpages for some things and I will list them here.
