I have found the Aviation Merit Badge to be one of the more challenging merit badges American Heritage Girls has to offer. It requires a lot of technical knowledge to be able to teach it, or a good hands-on museum. But, considering today is Amelia Earhart’s Birthday, I wanted to offer some assistance for those working on this badge.
As I prepared for the American Heritage Girl National Convention last month, I was surprised to learn how many people still do not understand what SWAPS are. Hopefully this will help those who are new to the idea of SWAPS.
Did you enjoy the AHG 20th Anniversary Convention as much as we did? My daughter and I had a blast. In addition to the workshops, we also enjoyed seeing old AHG friends from around the country.

Now that we are home and have recovered from the trip my daughter and her friends are excited to earn the 20th Anniversary Patch. Most of the girls completed a couple of the requirements while at National, so I am teaching a workshop this summer to help them complete it so they can wear their autographed patch on their uniform when the troop resumes meetings in September.

I love the fact that my daughter and I share a passion for cooking. This summer she is working on her Cooking merit badge. This means lots of yummy food and a few messes.
Cooking requirement #14 has the PiPa plan a healthy menu for the family for three days including snacks. To assist you in this requirement, we have created a simple printout for you.

Happy cooking!
NOTE: The requirements have been simplified here. Please be sure to read the full text in the Girl Handbook to make sure you fully understand the requirements.
