While I was there, I looked at the other &#8220;fun patches&#8221; they had available.  These are patches the girls get for doing activities that don&#8217;t qualify as badges, but which are still fun enough that they want to commemorate them.  My girls love collecting things, so they&#8217;re all over anything that gets them a patch or a badge.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, I was looking to see what they had available that might be good for them to have to commemorate the visit of my friend the vet.  She&#8217;s agreed to talk to the troop, and I&#8217;ve got a few fun ideas planned for that visit that I&#8217;m running past her.  This will actually count toward both our &#8220;animals&#8221; try-it and our &#8220;careers&#8221; try-it, both of which we&#8217;ve half completed.
