That would go so hard on a metal battle vest.

But did you do complete the chippy hike?

Girl scouts (and girl guides) often have patches to commemorate a fun event. The ones they earn for work go on the front of their vest and have specific criteria for earning them, but are usually more generic in appearance or don't have details about it on the patch.

This type of patch is likely for the youngest age group (4-5) and is meant to be more of a fun patch. I would also guess that the troop is in more of an urban area so there's not much in the way of a very local, small kid friendly hike.

[–] lakemalcom10@lemm.ee 21 points 1 month ago

I found a page about how to run the activity and I think it's a pretty nice idea for a younger or multi-level troop: https://www.scouts.org.uk/activities/chippy-hike/

I just learned this the other day when I was joking with my wife that my daughter and their troop got badges for things like breathing and being near things. She told me the back is for whatever, and that when they become Brownies next year, that comes to an end.

I support it all though. Gets the girls together, they do occasionally do things that resemble community service, and I eat too many goddamn cookies.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

I would imagine it's a way to familiarize the kids to the incentive structure of the badges when they are still too young to be focused.

Do they have a kebab badge?

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The kebab sign used to have a eastern European mystical connotation before the Germans misappropriated it.

They're cultured over there.

Preferably for delivery.

Girl scouts got updated with Gacha mechanics

Once you get there, though...

Is there a Chippy Doordash badge?

A hike does suggest a bit more than nearby tbf

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was 2 badges away from Eagle and not one of them was this easy... 😩

The hardest thing was selling our disgusting popcorn while the Girl Scouts were selling their bomb-ass cookies. Like, why? We stood no chance... πŸ˜”

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Honestly, the fact that she made an effort to go somewhere she didn't have to was a win.

[–] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago
[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've done that! Where is my badge?

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You gotta fight his daughter for it.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

OK. That little brat doesn't stand a chance!

Isn't chippy a not so good slang term for women?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

In American, yes, it means promiscuous young woman or prostitute. In Canadian it means irritable or in ice hockey, overly aggressive playing. In British it means fried potato slice selling establishment (stand or shop).

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not that I've traveled all over the US, but I've never heard the term "chippy" used that way here. Where is it used?

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It is archaic usage. Think the roaring 20s.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

Is it older or younger than "flapper?"

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I’ve only heard it from Silent Generation folks, or people being sarcastically old timey as they playfully criticize younger women. I’m in California.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Where in America? I don't doubt it, I'm just not familiar with it. Is it possibly something that has fallen out as a slang term or incredibly regional?

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It’s a silent generation thing. It’s only used now if you’re being sarcastically old timey.

[–] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

In British it also means carpenter.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 1 month ago

It's super old-timey
