Nights Away Badge 
How many do you have?
Girlguiding Northamptonshire Nights Away Badge Scheme is open to all members, from the newest Rainbow to the most mature adult member, you can celebrate going away with Guiding by gaining all the Nights Away cloth badges!
We started on 20/10/10, so you can count your Nights Away from then. Badges available are 1,3,5,7,10,15,25,50,75,100,150 and 200 nights.
To take part, complete the Nights Away Record Card every time you go away for one night or more on a recognised Guiding event. This could be a sleepover, camp, holiday, boating event, expedition, international trip etc.
Once you have reached the requisite number of nights away to gain one of the badges, you can purchase it from the County Shop and the Division Shop. You can include the cost of the badge into residential fees, or take it from unit funds.

Training Pins 
All the time you spend keeping up to date in your Guiding roles can help work towards a training pin. This includes both e-learnings and face to face trainings – so attending a safe space, first response or county training day will give you hours towards a pin. The basics are;
- 8 hours for bronze
- a further 8 hours for silver
- a further 8 hours for gold
24 hours in total
e-learnings all count as 20 minutes except for online safeguarding which counts as 3hrs, any face to face training counts as the length of the session
Pins are free and paid for by county
Once the requisite hours have been achieved, please forward the card to the County office, Unit 1 Brookfield, Duncan Close, Moulton Park, Northampton NN3 7XB or email office@girlguidingnorthamptonshire.org.uk and it will be posted back to you with the appropriate badge/s free of charge
