Girl Guides get new 'Think Resiliant' badge to tackle mental health issues [Telegraph.co.uk]

The list of badges available to Girl Guides once focused on skills such as baking, beekeeping and even telegraphy.

But, in a move to equip members for the day-to-day challenges of life in the 21st Century and tackle what is viewed as one of the last great stigmas, the organisation is introducing a new award promoting awareness of mental health issues.

The new “Think Resilient” badge will encourage girls to deal with stress and discuss problems openly.
