This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the Pandemic badge.

There has been a lot of conflicting information worldwide about the usefulness (or not) of masks and homemade face coverings. At the very least, a face covering will reduce the spread of the virus from your own coughs and sneezes.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:

• Research places that are accepting homemade masks / face coverings in your community or where you can mail to
• Find out what pattern(s) they will accept
• Sew at least 5 face coverings using an appropriate pattern
• Donate them to essential workers

To document your completion of the BB, provide the following:

• Information about where you intend to donate the masks
• Link to the pattern you plan to use
• Photo of the materials for your masks
• Photo of the completed masks packed up for donation
