Girl Scout Olympic Patch

Did you know that there were WAGGGS badges based on the Olympics? I think the Guides or Scouts were the first to do this, but this year there are some for the Beijing Games. I think the Girl Scouts in Taiwan created it.
Details at:

Do the activities with your troop (or run a workshop!) and download and print our own certificates, or buy the patch, for about $1 each. (40 pence, but check the exchange rate & think about postage…) They ran out of the free cloth copies already. To purchase Olympia Badges, visit the WAGGS shop in the UK:
