NPR's "All Things Considered" reports that while the organization is keeping evergreen

badges such as Cook, Athlete, and Naturalist, its new and updated badges are

meant to help the Girl Scouts "customize their own projects." For

example, those interested in creating a sustainable business will be able to

combine the Product Designer badge with the Customer Loyalty badge and, if that

business happens to be selling home grown turnips, the Locavore badge.

earlier. Soon, your daughter may be the one pressing you to buy local.

According to the Girls Scouts of America website, the Locavore badge is

available to senior girl scouts who find inspiration from older, historically

"local" badges such as Farmer, Beekeeper, and Dairy Maid.
