New
Locavore Badge for Seniors!
Girls
Scout Seniors across the nation now have
the opportunity to earn and add one more badge to the collection
prominently
displayed on their green vests: Locavore.
This
badge, released in honor of the organization’s 100th anniversary,
allows girls
to explore the local food movement in their communities.
Earning a
Locavore badge is achieved in
five steps:
1. Explore the benefits and
challenges of going local
2. Find your local food sources
3. Cook a simple dish showcasing local ingredients
4. Make a recipe with local ingredients
5. Try a local cooking challenge
Each
of the steps includes specific challenges such as interviewing chefs
who
specialize in locally grown foods, taking a favorite recipe and making
it local
or preparing a three-course meal based on local ingredients.
