Thanks for that.

I often thought about glue but it does mean you can't re-use the top.
I would just teach the young person to do it themselves.

I assume they can't be too young to sew and you can always tack them in place first.

Isn’t it strange how us nannas are the badge sewer onners!
I always did my own 3 children’s badges - brownies, cubs, scouts and guides, swimming and sports .

I’ve done them now for grandchildren and still doing for youngest DGD brownies, just about to go to Guides. 😤.

As you say ‘it’s a pain in the neck’.
I would love to have found something sticky to adhere them to.

I am looking forward to the day when they get their ‘sewing’ badge and I can hand the needle over! Swimming badges too.

I tried using the bondaweb type stuff once for my DDs brownie badges and got told off by Brown Owl!

The Beaver is only 6 and the badges are blooming awkward - all different shapes, sizes and colours and some are interlocking - and he gets a new one nearly every week.
I assume the person who designed them didn't try sewing them on!

I would use bondweb to secure and then do a few stitches round the edge to avoid getting told of by Brown Owl!

The sewing badge should be the first one they earn 🪡🧵😃

I would happily sew a few badges!

When my youngest went away to school I sewed 90 name tapes on by hand!

When he left school I was thrilled that I would never have to do it again……until my mother went in to a home, it was dreadful I had to sew in her name tapes on to all her clothing, sad.
