In my defense i do camp (but I take alcohol along with me ;-) My daughter came up to me with her new patches last year and said “mom can you staple these, too?” not only do I NOT sew (bad gs leader) but I am too lazy to remember to take them to a tailor in advance of an actual gs event.

I had to take Valium just to get through the meetings. We never got as far as the Magic Badge because I tried to hot glue the badges on. After the pine wood derby debacle, where I called in sick to work so that I could get his car down to the required weight and had a mild breakdown requiring more than one Valium, the thrill wore off for him. Now he's a skateboarder. Wonder where I went wrong. Good luck with it! My oldest was briefly a Tiger Cub. I had to take Valium just to get through the meetings.

It was way too expensive to have them sewn on at the cleaners. the martial arts uniform patches were 10.00 per patch. Also for the craft at the meeting we did bird baths with mosaic tile. Two terracotta planters flipped one up one down and the small plate under the pottery was used as the bowl for the bath. We took regular tile smashed it up & let them use the putty/silicon glue to attach the mosaic pieces together. It turned out awesome. Better than the derby car!
