- D E S C R I P T I O N - Bisexual Pride Pin is inspired by Bismuth chemical element, with symbol Bi and atomic number 83. The Pride Flag Colors are a beautiful pink, purple, and dark blue. The symbol located right side corner is the official pride symbol of bisexuality, representing the attraction to the same and different genders. By definition, Bisexuality is inherently inclusive of all genders <3 The pin measures 3/4" inch. The metal color is antique gold. PRODUCT SPECS: Size (WxHxD): 19 x 19 x 9mm or 0.8 x 0.5 x 0.35in Material: Enamel Metal Backing: A black rubber clasp, for comfortable wear! THE SERIES: Queer Chemistry is an enamel pin series, inspired by the chemical elements of the Mendeleev Periodic Table. Each of the enamel pins is a chemical element-style representation of marginalized gender identity, sexuality, attraction. The idea behind the concept is that gender and sexuality are just as natural as chemical elements. In other words, every gender and sexuality are valid, natural, and thus deserving of pride and joy. Today, more than ever, I feel that labels can be used to increase self-assurance and to acquaint with other people. It is a helping hand in identifying/labeling yourself as well as in finding your place within the community and the world. This project is more than a series of fashionable pins, I would like to believe it is a means to give confidence to you, the lovely souls out there, who face similar issues, so you feel supported, visible, and accepted, and above all, proud of who you are. - P A C K A G I N G - This pride badge is packaged onto an eco-packaging bubble wrapper, secured by a backing cardstock for it not to bend! All the packaging materials have had a second life!

I bet you don’t know them all even as a adult. Use this resource as a starting point to teach your girls about the different state symbols. Make a banner and if possible walk in a parade Make a reusable banner to walk in parades with your girls. If you create the banner to have your troop number in middle big, then add velco pieces along outside. This will allow the girls to make custom things to add to banner for whatever holiday you happen to be walking in. Example girls could make American flags and red, white and blue decorations to velcro on for Memorial Day Parade. If its Christmas make ornaments or Christmas trees to velcro on. Flag Ceremonies Flag Ceremonies can be tricky depending on the type you will be performing.

Never miss an important flag flying holiday by following the dates below: What do we do after your girls complete the activities? Well of course give them the badge to display proudly on their vest, they earned it! Additionally If you are like many leaders we want to award our girls when they complete something even beyond just the patch. One great way to show achievement is with a certificate. Don’t worry you don’t have to make them, I found a resource that has done all the work for you and all you have to do is print them and customize the certificates with each girl’s name, badge or award earned, date, and troop leader. Editable certificates perfect for awarding girls after earning a badge. More Resources For You Beyond This Site I get asked a lot what other resources are out there on the internet for Leaders. I have done some digging over the years and have used many of the resources myself. I compiled a list of some great companies that sell patches, programs and also other bloggers offering amazing resources that may fit your needs even better than my site did. Checkout what I found. Enjoy every minute being a leader and continue to inspire your girls! Purchase this wonderful illustrated book from Amazon.
