Make Your Own Badge Site is Closing
The Make Your Own badge site, created in 2011, was meant to provide girls with the option of creating a badge that they did not see offered in the national badge program. The number of girls making their own badges has been decreasing since 2013. Instead, the Girls' Choice badge process, now in its third year, provides a more effective method of reaching a larger number of girls.
To that end, the
Make Your Own badge site will close on June 30, 2017. The design tool for Make Your Own will shut down on June 1, 2017. All Make Your Own badges must be submitted by this date.
