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
