Here you go ๐
I know it is very krool
Chips is reward
Oh, yeah.
That would go so hard on a metal battle vest.
I would put one on mine.
But did you do complete the chippy hike?
Stolen valor strikes again.
No >:(
Girl scouts (and girl guides) often have patches to commemorate a fun event. The ones they earn for work go on the front of their vest and have specific criteria for earning them, but are usually more generic in appearance or don't have details about it on the patch.
This type of patch is likely for the youngest age group (4-5) and is meant to be more of a fun patch. I would also guess that the troop is in more of an urban area so there's not much in the way of a very local, small kid friendly hike.
I just learned this the other day when I was joking with my wife that my daughter and their troop got badges for things like breathing and being near things. She told me the back is for whatever, and that when they become Brownies next year, that comes to an end.
I support it all though. Gets the girls together, they do occasionally do things that resemble community service, and I eat too many goddamn cookies.
I would imagine it's a way to familiarize the kids to the incentive structure of the badges when they are still too young to be focused.
I found a page about how to run the activity and I think it's a pretty nice idea for a younger or multi-level troop: https://www.scouts.org.uk/activities/chippy-hike/
Girl scouts got updated with Gacha mechanics
Do they have a kebab badge?
Only in Germany.
The kebab sign used to have a eastern European mystical connotation before the Germans misappropriated it.

I was 2 badges away from Eagle and not one of them was this easy... ๐ฉ
The hardest thing was selling our disgusting popcorn while the Girl Scouts were selling their bomb-ass cookies. Like, why? We stood no chance... ๐
Is there a Chippy Doordash badge?
Clever. I approve.
Once you get there, though...
Honestly, the fact that she made an effort to go somewhere she didn't have to was a win.
A hike does suggest a bit more than nearby tbf

I've done that! Where is my badge?
You gotta fight his daughter for it.
Isn't chippy a not so good slang term for women?
In American, yes, it means promiscuous young woman or prostitute. In Canadian it means irritable or in ice hockey, overly aggressive playing. In British it means fried potato slice selling establishment (stand or shop).
Not that I've traveled all over the US, but I've never heard the term "chippy" used that way here. Where is it used?
It is archaic usage. Think the roaring 20s.
Is it older or younger than "flapper?"
Iโve only heard it from Silent Generation folks, or people being sarcastically old timey as they playfully criticize younger women. Iโm in California.
Where in America? I don't doubt it, I'm just not familiar with it. Is it possibly something that has fallen out as a slang term or incredibly regional?

In British it also means carpenter.
It's super old-timey
Where do you people live that it would be a monumental achievement to reach the nearest chip stand? Are you in a remote village in the Andean mountains?
My thought was an American city where you need to cross 8 lanes of traffic without a stoplight.
It's a good joke, except we'd call them fries.
Chips come in a bag and are either crispy salty potato rounds, or corny spicy triangles, or chocolate droplets.
They can also be wooden playground fill.
.... and the added risk of getting shot
Fun fact: potatoes were first domesticated in Peru/Bolivia so it's likely that someone ate sliced potatoes in the Andes far before they reached Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_potato
... and Tomatoes originated from Central America .... which means that chips and ketchup wouldn't be possible without Native American cultures cultivating these fruits and vegetables
Ketchup has kind of an interesting history
The term ketchup/catsup (or various other spellings) first appeared in about the 1600s, but tomato ketchup didn't really catch on until about 200-300 years later. Before then it was used to refer to a variety of different sauces/condiments. Mushroom ketchup was a fairly popular one, some were based on fish sauces (you could maybe make an argument that Worcestershire sauce is a type of ketchup) etc.
The general consensus is that it was sort of the result Europeans attempting to recreate various Asian sauces without really knowing what was in them or having access to the right ingredients (for example trying to make something like soy sauce without soy beans)

Fam this would make an awesome kid's book... once upon a time some native in what is now Colombia is having a family reunion; their cousin from the north brings tomatoes, and their cousin from the south brings potatoes. They catch some fish and eat it with sliced potato, and they debate whether it's better with tomato paste or without. I bet libraries would stock that book!
chipvision? a song contest?
