Brownie Badge: Pet - Part 1 of 2

Look at our brownies proud of the pillows they made for the animals at the Animal Humane Society.

 

During the month of November (2 meetings) we are working on the Brownie "Pets" badge lead by Kelly.

There are 5 steps to earn this badge:

1. Find out what care different pets need
2. Keep a pet comfy
3. Help a pet stay healthy and safe
4. Make a pet feel loved
5. Feed a pet

During our first meeting on this badge we had lots of conversations about different pets, but the highlight of the meeting was making a no sew pet pillow made out of fleece for the Animal Humane Society. They made knots all around the pillow to keep the 2 pieces of fabric together. Each girl had the opportunity to make one, and they were very gracious to donate their pillow to a pet who does not have a home.

Our next meeting will be on 11/19, we will have a field trip to a local farm (more info to come).

Thank you Kelly for organizing these great activities!
