Here we have a COMPLETE SET of 146 Badges earned by Junior Girl Scouts from the "Worlds To Explore" Era. The Worlds To explore series was extremely popular, available for 1980 to 2001. As you would expect from its name, it included five Worlds: World of Well-Being, World of People, World of Today-and-Tomorrow, World of the Arts and World of Out-Of-Doors.
An additional series called " Handbook Badges " were also introduced in 1986. They were more difficult to earn, as they were meant to be earned by an entire troop. All of the badges in this lot look to be new and unused with no sewing holes visible. If they have been used, they were used very gently.
I have included multiple photos of front and back. Here is a list of all 148 badges included in this complete set, color coded by World.
