Comic Artist Girl Scout Cadette Patch

Our girls recently earned their Cadette patch.  I thought I would type out what we did to complete this patch.  If you have any other ideas, feel free to reply below!  Sorry this is short and sweet.  I didn't keep the notes from this meeting.


Our meetings our one hour long with no snack.


Most of our girls are into reading Graphic Novels, so, this badge was perfect for them.

Materials needed:
Paper
pencils
colored pencils
crayons
markers
imagination

When the girls came in, we told them that we were working on our Comic Artist patch.  We compared it to Graphic Novels.  We had them start working on individual drawings using post it notes.  Their pictures had to tell a short story (like a comic strip).

When this was complete, we gave the girls a piece of paper and had them draw panels to tell a funny story (very short).  The story could only be 4 panels long.  We had them fold the paper in fourths, giving them their four panels.

For our last part, we had the girls work in groups.  They had to come up with a short story and each girl had to draw a panel for the story.  They used words (word and thought bubbles) and facial expressions.

We had the girls share all of their work.  They really enjoyed working on this badge!
