About Activity Plans

Every completed activity plan earns a fun patch. Complete two activity plans for a badge or award and earn that badge plus fun patches! Activity plans are made available for download as they are created. Find out how you — our expert troop leaders — can help us grow our library of activity plans.

About Earn a Badge Events

River Valleys offers special one-day or overnight events that allow you to have fun while completing the requirements for a particular badge. You leave the event with your badge in hand! We also offer events to help you complete a Journey or get you started on earning highest awards.

Map Your Plan

Whatever number of hours you have available for troop meetings, we offer guidelines for choosing your activities and events to create a well-rounded experience. To find out more, see Map Your Plan.
