The Cost of Badges

Badges are $6.45 for 5 plus $5.20 shipping. This is for a tie-tack back, which is more expensive, but seems safer than the pin ones! And I'm happy to not have to sew patches on shirts or sashes! You can pay me back in cash or with undying adoration. I can be your Badge Sugar Mama possibly.

First Frontier Girls Meeting!

Frontier Girls is like 4-H meets Girl Scouts!

At the first Frontier Girls KC meeting (Troop 174), we'll go over general Frontier Girls business and taste different kinds of chocolate (including cocoa butter and cacao nibs) as part of the Chocolate Badge. Please bear with me as I work through starting up this troop. Thanks!

I won't put any photos or event information on this site. That information will only come to those who I know through Facebook or other homeschool groups.

Cost: $25 per year plus badges

We'll have fundraisers like bake sales and such

We'll go on field trips and have guest speakers

We'll keep it low-key (no uniform checks, you can put badges on a vest or sash that you make or buy yourself) and try to go through one badge per month, meeting twice per month and doing the rest at home.
