West Virginia Girl Scouts New CCC Badge

Thanks to the dedicated hard work of the daughter of Mrs. John (Tammy) Burge, Girl Scout Counselor in the Parkersburg, WV area and a Life Member of our Association, there is now a separate badge opportunity that honors the original Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
 
Kaylin Burge, a nine year old Girl Scout with her mother as advisor, conceived the idea for the badge activity. She then developed and wrote the project guidelines in Spring, 2008 and sent the guidelines and CCC subject matter materials to the Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council which then approved it for use as a troop-only trial project. It is hoped that this important badge project will grow in popularity, evolve and spread the message about the CCC legacy.  We hope this  initial first step will become a state-wide, and hopefully, national Girl Scout CCC badge activity.  Kaylin did this as a project to earn her Bronze Award.
 
This first group of Girl Scouts to ever earn the CCC badge will culminate their activities with a trip to the WV CCC camp museum in July 2008.

Kaylin also designed the badge.  Her grandfather, Woodrow Mace, told stories of building a dam, bridges, trails and other projects with the CCC's prior to entering the Navy and serving in WWII.  Neither the depression nor the CCCs were being taught in school so Kaylin, only 7 at the time, wanted to create a Girl Scout badge so other girls could learn about the CCC's and all their work.
