Is there a matching badge for Multi-Level Troops?

Learn about the 2011 GSUSA Multi-level Art badges, as this can tie into the Digital Arts.

Roller coaster requirement could be linked to the Daisy Roller Coaster Design Challenge badge. There are no other correlating journeys or badges with the same science requirements. We recommend a Fun Patch for other levels.

• Senior – (Science of Style does not correlate)
• Brownie – (Home Scientist does not correlate)
• Cadette – (Science of Happiness does not correlate)

Where does this go on the Uniform?
