That would go so hard on a metal battle vest.
I would put one on mine.
But did you do complete the chippy hike?
Stolen valor strikes again.
No >:(
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.
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.
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?
Only in Germany.
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...
A hike does suggest a bit more than nearby tbf
I was 2 badges away from Eagle and not one of them was this easy... π©
The hardest thing was selling our disgusting popcorn while the Girl Scouts were selling their bomb-ass cookies. Like, why? We stood no chance... π
Honestly, the fact that she made an effort to go somewhere she didn't have to was a win.

I've done that! Where is my badge?
You gotta fight his daughter for it.
Isn't chippy a not so good slang term for women?
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).
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?
It is archaic usage. Think the roaring 20s.
Is it older or younger than "flapper?"
Iβve only heard it from Silent Generation folks, or people being sarcastically old timey as they playfully criticize younger women. Iβm in California.
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?
Itβs a silent generation thing. Itβs only used now if youβre being sarcastically old timey.
In British it also means carpenter.
It's super old-timey
