It's going to take a few more days to get our new merit badges uploaded onto FarmgirlSisterhood.org. It's very tedious. Every line requires specialized symbols, etc. Our software was custom-designed many years ago, about 20, so it isn't just a cut and paste job. It's something called "hard coding." Owen, our computer student from WSU, will be working on them again tomorrow. We will let you know when he's done and it indeed tests done. In other words, we're on it. And on it. And on it:)

Thank you, Mary Jane!!! It sounds like tedious work:(. Please tell Owen thank you! I appreciate all of the work that goes into this. It's exciting to have new badges to work on :)

Are there formatted PDFs of the new badge pages for the binder/organizer somewhere?

Heather - I found that already and I have them in the latest issue of MJF. I a looking for the downloadable pdf/printable ones that fit the small three ring binder badge organizer. I use that to navigate my badge activities.

Sorry, that was the wrong link for what you're wanting! It looks like they're not done yet on the pdf list. I know what you mean about the binder. Mine's getting pretty worn out from all the flipping.

I use my binder for all my badge activity too! It helps me stay organized with what I am working on or what I plan to work on.

For those of you who have the earlier version of our planner with the 5.5 inch by 8.5 inch pages (that we out grew--too many Merit Badges), we have the new Merit Badge pages and 2026 and 2027 calendars available in PDF form so you can print them yourself to keep your planner updated. Just email me with this as the subject: Small Planner Pages, and I'll send them to you via email.
For those of you with our 8.5 inch by 11 inch planner, you can print the new badge pages here:
