This Printable Plan IS NOT available on Teachers Pay Teachers yet. We are currently testing it with real scouts, as is our preference to do before selling any printable plan.
The Badge Archive Print and Play Plans make it easy to run a great meeting. Just purchase on Teachers Pay Teachers, print, and follow the steps. Most meetings take about 90 minutes.
Every purchase helps keep The Badge Archive free for all leaders.
Prefer to DIY? We also offer a free Meeting Outline so you can create your own materials if you’re not using the paid plan.
