Friends and Family Merit Badges¿ is simply a celebration and recognition of the thousands of things millions of people do together every day and of the importance of purposefully refocusing on activities that allow us to reconnect with the people in our lives that matter most to us, friends, and family members of all kinds. Taking a walk, reading a book, riding a bike, cooking a meal...the simplest pleasures in life are becoming more important to our wellbeing each day. These kinds of simple activities are an opportunity for friends and family members to talk, discover, play, and grow together. The Friends and Family Merit Badges¿ kit provides 20 activity ideas encouraging a connection between loved ones with simple, budget-friendly and accessible to everyone ideas of things to do to disconnect from the digital and reconnect with those that matter most.
