How to Apply Daisy Brownie Badges

Use an iron to apply the patches.

Girls in kindergarten and first grade are at the right age to take part in the Daisy Girl Scout program. The girls learn to perform various tasks to build character. For each assigned task they complete, they are awarded a specific badge. The girls purchase either a tunic that ties on the sides or a vest they wear over a shirt, which are used to display the badges and have specific spots where the badges should be placed. The badges come with an adhesive backing, making them easy to apply.

Things You'll Need

• Iron
• Ironing board
• Clean cotton cloth

Instructions

1. Lay the Girl Scout Daisy vest or tunic on an ironing board. Turn on the iron to preheat it.

2. Find the place where the particular badge is supposed to go on the tunic or vest. Each badge has its own designated spot. See the Resources section for this information.

3. Peel the adhesive backing off the back of the Girl Scout Daisy badge.

4. Iron the tunic or vest in the area where the patch will go for 30 seconds.

5. Place the patch over the hot spot and place a cotton cloth over the patch. Place the iron on the cloth for 30 seconds.

6. Turn the vest or tunic over and iron the spot opposite the patch for 30 seconds.
