Merit Badge Update (Please read!)
Hello campers! I wanted to give you some updates on merit badge shipping for this month and going forward. A few things:
Please make sure your address is up to date and complete in your Patreon profile! Many patrons have incomplete shipping info, which will result in your badge being returned to us.
Shipping timeframe: going forward, our goal is to have the merit badges shipped by the middle of each month. This first month has been a bit of a learning curve, and we are unfortunately running behind. (I know we'll get it down to a science within a few months!) All March pants badges will be shipped by the end of this month. I apologize for the delay!
Badges are shipped 1st class mail, which does not include tracking and can take up to 3 weeks depending on your location. We are more than happy to assist you if three weeks have passed and you have not received your badge! Please email support@charmpatterns.com.
Please let me know if you have any questions! We're so excited for you to get your badges.
xoxo,
Gertie

Just received mine on Friday in Canada. So cute and VERY exciting! Hopefully my camp Gertie badges get here soon!
So over the moon. Just received my very first badge and I am in Australia!!!!! It makes me feel really a part of something. Thanks so much.
I live in FL and haven't received my first badge. ☹ Should I be worried?
I live in south florida and i have not received mine either. Im glad im not the only one lol. It should come soon
Still waiting on my first badge in NYC! 🤞
I moved and updated my address hopefully my badge doesn’t get lost
I got mine so cute
Still waiting patiently...
How many merit badges are supposed to be out so far? I know they will take a while to get to the U.K but i just wanted to check i haven't missed one?! Ta very much!!
Only one has gone out so far!
I hope there is a "Learning Curve" Badge at some point! :) lol - aren't they just the best! Well done to Gertie, Mellisha and the larger team for all the work you do behind the scenes to make cool stuff for us! Checking my mailbox in Australia so I don't miss it! xx
Received my badge! Look forward to making a sash for it
No badge in the mail for me yet, :(. I live in the US.
Yes, there are still some that need to be mailed! All will go out by the end of the month still.
The mailman just showed up at my door saying the envelope needed an extra $3.50 in shipping, and I could only have the envelope if I paid that. I refused the delivery because that seemed too strange.
I should add, I live in Texas, not international.
I got my first badge today. 🥰 Thanks, Gertie!! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🏝
Does anyone else think the woman in the picture looks like princess margaret??
Got mine this weekend!!! I was actually out camping when it arrived, how cool!
Yeah, I got my first patch in the mail yesterday. They are really cute. I need to get my sash done so I can put them on it. 🙂🙂💓
Got mine today! Thanks, Gertie!
I can't wait :D it'll be coming to the UK :D so a big thank you before it gets here :) xoxo
If you're the same David I think you are! I'm waiting on mine too 🤣 x
Badge arrived safely in Washington state today! Thank you!
I too got my badge today... great surprise that it came so quickly; I live in NH. I love the design.
I just fixed a typing error in my City's name. 😔😭 hopefully it hasn't been sent yet.
We'll re-send it if it comes back :)
I got mine today!! I was surprised because I thought it was going to take a lot longer. It is beautiful btw
They look soooo cute. I am sure it is a big job to get it all coordinated the first time. Its all cool zxx
It definitely was! We're working out some kinks in the process so the rest of the year goes more smoothly! Thanks for understanding :)
Got mine today, such a wonderful surprise!
I was floored that I got mine yesterday! Thank you Gerite!!
That's great news!
i made my own 40s trousers a year ago but can’t find fabric to make these ones yet. i won’t give myself the badge until i make this pattern. it sure is cute, though! 👖
Same. I told my husband I got my badge I didn’t earn yet 😂
Due to the fact that I live in Canada I’m used to things being delayed coming to me and honestly I’m okay with the delay I’m just happy to receive the badges I think they are worth the wait!!! 😍😍❤️
They look sweet so about another a month wait for me I reckon based on how long the journal took to get here and still.havent order that charm scout badge
Hi! I know I put in my address when I upped my teir but I don't know where to go to check that it's correct? Could someone let me know where my address info would be in the app? Thank you!
Hi Muireann, I don't think you can check on the app. I had to log into the desktop site in my browser, go to My Profile and then Edit Profile. Hope that helps
When were they mailed (so I can know if 3-weeks have past)?
They will all have shipped by the end of this month :)
Super excited, no matter when they come in!
Will we get a notification one has been shipped even if there is no tracking?
No, unfortunately we can't provide shipping notifications with the system we're using. That's why I wanted to be sure you had a general guideline of when they should arrive :)
Thank you Gertie and staff!! I'm so excited to start receiving these! 😁. It's funny how something so simple can cause such excitement!!!
These are so fabulous and will be worth the wait!
How do we check that our address is correct? I’ve clicked around but don’t see where that setting is.
If you're on a computer, there's a menu in the upper right where you can choose "my profile settings". If you click that and then scroll down a bit, you'll see the address you've entered.
Happily waiting for my badges. I knew ya’ll are working on getting them out. Appreciate the transparency though!
So excited about these! They are so cute! Always impressed by your ability to deliver so much high than our expectations!
Thanks Gertie
They are SO adorable 😍 I can’t wait!!!
