Young Carers Badge
This is a unique badge designed for Girlguides and Brownies Northern Ireland. To achieve this award, the Girlguides will complete 4 out of 6 tasks.
At the end of the task the Girlguides are awarded with the Crossroads Young Carers Badge. If you are in The Girlguides or Brownies why not ask your leader can you complete the badge!
