We started selling badges in 2008 to raise funds to get a group of Guides to WINGS 2009, an international camp at Windsor. The badges were so popular that we raised our target much quicker than anticipated and so we turned our attentions to fundraising for the guiding centenary in 2010. The local girls took part in some fantastic centenary celebrations during 2009/10 and we continued to sell badges to help give the best guiding experience we can to the girls across Dursley district. So far, hundreds of girls have benefited from the badges we sell and we hope that many more will in years to come.
Where does the money go?
Every penny of profit from the sale of badges on our website goes directly to the girls in Girlguiding Dursley district. We have already raised over £28,600 (at December 2022) since we started fundraising back in September 2008. Many thanks to everyone who has helped to make guiding in Dursley district so special.

Badge donations |
Much of our stock of badges comes from donations from units up and down the country. If you find a pile of obsolete badges at the back of the Guide cupboard, bottom of the Brownie badge box or indeed anywhere else, then please consider donating them to us to help us with our fundraising efforts. Get in touch to find out how.

Visit the websiteThe website has a wide range of badges on offer, from the obsolete programme badges to fun badges from events, excess challenge badge stock and so on.
What we sell ...
We sell old, obsolete Girlguiding badges from any section, plus fun badges that have been designed by others and donated to us or that we have created and designed ourselves. What we don't sell ... We don't sell any badges that are still currently part of the Girlguiding official programme. These are only sold by Girlguiding Trading Services and Girlguiding volunteer depots and are available for leaders to purchase through these official channels. The only exception to this is where one of our local units has completed a challenge style badge and have a small number of badges left over. |
