Merit Badge Madness (Please Read!)

I need assistance in regards to my March (pants) badge please

Yay, my pants badge just arrived in New Zealand! I’m planning to cut out my Lucilles next week so it’s all good. Hope everyone’s are slowly arriving!

I just got two of may badges- no april!

The badge, I can't think of what word instead of icon. I rephrased that I received Elvis and some kind of waving symbol. Thank you.

Hello, I'm in the U.S. (Southern California), I have yet to receive my knit or men's shirt badges. I've sent emails to support@charmpatterns.com and naty@charmpatterns.com but no response. I hope they are just busy and haven't had a chance to get back to me. Can someone please let me know if my badges have been sent (re-sent)? I've read some people are getting doubles, I'm still waiting for one set.

just got my mens and knitwear in the UK

Is there anyone from Holland who did received badges 2 and 3????

Just got my knit and menswear. When was the cut off for the pants badge?

Hi Gertie, on Thursday I got my knit and menswear badges. To my surprise, though, I got another set in the mail today! I can mail back the second set, but figured you might want to know that your database is being too generous <3

If we joined in a later month (I just got the knit and men’s wear badges) - will there be a way for me to order the crest badge since that was at the beginning of the year ?

I have’t received any yet. I will write an e-mail. Thank you 💜

Have not received my badge 😔

So...has the Knit badge been mailed out yet?

Hi, my March badge hasn't arrived yet. Should I be worried?

Hi Gertie! It's now April 28 (I waited an extra week) and I still have not received my Pants Merit Badge. Did I fall through the crack since I upgraded just prior to March? Thanks, Rita

I joined in March and haven't received anything!

I still have not received my badges. Thanks 😊

Still waiting for my badge I hope I get one 🤞

Did I miss a tutorial for the merit badge sash?

i know, i'm impatient but i can't take a whole month inbetween livestreams!!

I haven't received any badges yet either but I am in the $16 tier and based on this post I won't get any until the April badges are mailed.

😉I haven't received any badges yet, I'm pending here from Brazil, Brasília-DF.

Canada here! I just got my pants badge but uh....I got two 😳

Does the larger “Camp Gertie” Charm Scout badge also get mailed out during this process? Or is that merch that needs to be purchased separately? NEED to get one for my sash!! Thx!

I still haven’t received any of my badges. Anyone else?

Since I see the tiers in €, is it the Princess Scout PDF (18€) or a lower tier the 16$ one?

You guys are amazing!! Keep at it. These things always take time. I also acknowledge that it is easy for me to be forgiving because my mail comes quickly. Praying for patience for every charm scout with an extra something something for the Charm Scout Badge mailing team. Ps let me know if there’s anyway I can help from Souther California.

Oh Lordy, I hope you guys had a strong drink after dealing with this 🍹. Thanks for all you do. I’m a happy and patient camper. I’ll bet most of us are. Keep up the good work and relax. Your team is very much appreciated

You guys are so amazing!!

I love that the first merit badge is called the "Pants" badge, means womens underwear in the UK which gives me a childish giggle, i know, i'm 8 years old! :P love you gertie and melisha...and everyone else

Thank you for the update, you are doing a great job. No stress, shipping delays are just a fact of life at the moment. My Camp Gertie badge is currently having a two week stopover in Tokyo according to the tracking. It’s having the around-the-world trip I can’t do at the moment! I know it will get here eventually.

I'm in Australia, and in my mid 40s. I still assume anything from overseas will take 6 months to get to me xxoo

Thank you for letting us know. You are doing a fabulous job in this age of difficulty of getting stock from factories etc. Plus having to mail out to all your patreons that qualify. Please don't stress its all good xxx

Thanks so much to you and Melisha for everything you do for us. 😃 You are such a bright light in our days. So much creativity and fun around every corner.

Thank you for the update. I’m in Australia and was expecting a longer shipping time. I recently received my Camp badges that I ordered earlier in the year. As others have said - thank you for the updates and more time for sewing....

I'll be perfectly happy to get mine whenever it arrives! And I might have even earned the pants badge by the end of April. ;)

Thank you for letting us know what's going on. It will get better and run smoothly soon. I was wondering if you had plans to make a pattern for a shash to display our wonderful badges on. I'm finding this to be so much fun. 😊

Ok wonderful

How are you feeling after your COVID jab

I’m sure you’ve answered this question before but can we still buy the camp Gertie patch or are you out of those?

Thank you! I still would like to order the original camp Getie badge but still haven't been able to figure out how or where to do it! Help a princess out 🥺👸

Glad, they are late, it might give me time to sew that charm scout jacket, I got the perfect wool for 😂❤️

You and Melisha are made of Win and Awesome. To be honest, I was stressing more over my missing stimulus than my merit badge. ( I did receive both btw) I was just wondering where I can get a Camp Gertie patch. ^_^

Thank you Gertie and Melisha, we love you!!

Thank you for all the hard work you are pouting into all of this! An its alredy fun this year waiting for the badges! I know im not all stressed out about them its a fun thing not a life or death thing. So thank you

I'm in Hungary and postal services are so bad that I'll probably get my first badges for Christmas. If at all. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just got mine. Love it. Thanks for everything and no worries on this end.

Thank you so much for everything you do Gertie and Melisha xxx

What if I was in the $16 tier at the beginning of March but switched to the $19 after you started shipping them?

All read and understood Gertie. And thank you from the bottom of hearts for all you're doing; you're bloody marvellous you are - and you've done this through what can only be described as an "interesting" year. FYI - received my "pants" badge a couple of days ago :-)

All read and understood Chief ! Thank you !

I got by large badge, and the 1st one pretty swiftly! Thankyou ❤️

Thank you for your transparency! You should get a transparency badge :)

Thank you for posting this.... a new undertaking like this was bound to be a challenge!

Hope it’s not stressing you out too much too!!! Thanks for the updates!

More time to sew so I can do the work to truly earn the badge 😉

I'm in the UK and have received all the badges to date so all good 👍

So what I read was .... a one woman show start up business is experiencing growing pains which seems totally reasonable please be patient with me as I learn my new super hero skillset. ... while I am having myself a yeah I gotta be a girl scout as a grown up (because I wasn't as a kid) fan girl moment I am also able to be a quietly patient one .... no biggie

Thank you for the update and for working so tirelessly to bring us all the wonderful patterns and sewing opportunities. <3 <3

you are doing great :)

So glad you all are figuring things all out! Truly, shipping things with usps can feel like swimming upstream sometimes, and it can be the most frustrating headache. You ladies are doing a phenomenal job! I didn’t join Patreon for the badges, so whenever they arrive, they’re just a happy bonus ♥️

Thank you Gerite and Melisha for being so awesome!!

Thank you for always keeping us in the loop!

Any day I get a merit badge in the mail is a good day! We love you Gertie! Thanks for the merit badges, no matter when they arrive 💞

All of this sounds like a Herculan effort! No worries I'm a patient lady. 😌

Coolio, can't wait.

A little patience is not bad, more fun. (picture of you glamerous to the post office please! Do you wear the Camp Gertie uniform there ??? 😁)

Thnx for the update. It’s not a big deal! You are on a a new adventure with this, with new challenges! You have fantastic, amazing quality content, and instruction! Super video shoots! Great photos! It’s not easy to do all of this! You are doing great!

Thank you! I think you all deserve a merit badge, and a martini (or your drink of choice) for all this work! As a former whiner regarding my merit badge, I want to acknowledge that I am NOT disappointed, but my ocd requires information, which when received alleviates any and all anxiety caused by a situation, and I for one am satisfied now that I know! Thank you for all that you do for our wonderful community of sewist's! 😘

No worries! Totally makes sense. Thanks for the update 😊

Thanks for the update!! 💕

No stress- I got my pants one and my large Camp Gertie one woot! Love them they are very nice and worth the wait

No worries. Perhaps a Patience merit badge will be needed. The only mail that is fast is email... the rest will get there when it gets there... now if by June you haven't seen it then worry...

I received mine last week and am in main land Europe! Thanks for the update, I'll wait patiently for the April one arriving in May

Thank you for letting us know!

This is No Big Deal! Appreciate the update (I was wondering if Usps was just bonkers slow) but it’s small potatoes! Just gives me more time to figure out a display situation.

Thanks for the update!

I have received my badge and I’m in the UK xx
