Badges are used to track your progress through the programme and can be proudly displayed on their sash.

You will have received this document when you signed up for Explore Brownies, it is there to guide you through the programme. If you have any questions on what activities you should do next, talk to your Explore Brownie Leader.

How can we earn a badge?

Each badge requires tamariki to complete a set amount of activities from a variety of subject areas. Your Explore Brownie Leader will help lead you towards completing badges.

The requirements for earning each badge and your progress toward earning them can be seen by logging into the Parent Portal  here. On the dark blue menu, click on the Badges option. The badges your tamariki has started are partly coloured in. The ones they have earned are fully coloured in.

Clicking on a badge will show a list of the activities your Explore Brownie could do to finish earning this badge.

When will my badges arrive?

Earnt badges are sent out when the subscription renews.

What do I do with the badges?

Once you have paid for your first subscription (after your free trial has ended) to Explore Brownies, you will get sent a blue sash. This is worn over the right shoulder and pinned together at the bottom to make it the right size.

All badges can be proudly sewn on to the Brownie sash as a record of all of the achievements made. Typically, badges are laid out in this order:

Once your Explore Brownie has finished and moves up to the next section theywill receive a new sash.

Why didn’t we receive a badge?

If you haven’t received a badge, first, please check if you have earned the badge. You can check this by logging into the Parent Portal here.

If you have earned the badge, the post may be running late. Please allow up to 4 weeks from the date of your subscription renewal for delivery.

If your badge hasn’t arrived, please contact us at explore@ggnz.org.nz with your Explore Brownies name and which badge and we will look into this for you.

I’ve received the wrong badge(s); what do I do?
