A Free Troop Badge Interest Survey + Planning Tool
Let your troop help choose the year’s adventures—so you can spend less time guessing what they’ll enjoy and more time planning activities they’re excited to try.
The Plan Our Junior Year freebie gives girls a voice in troop planning and gives leaders a clear picture of which badges rise to the top.
Choose the simple printable survey or create your own private Google Form with automatic results.

A Quick Note About the Digital Version
The digital survey requires a free Google account.
Your Form, spreadsheet, and troop responses are created inside your own Google Drive. Badge Buddy cannot view or access your survey responses.
The first time you create the survey, Google will ask you to approve permission for the tool to create the Form and spreadsheet in your account. The included guide walks you through every step.
