The Girl Scouts have created a patch for girls to earn a badge in video game design. The organizing groups announced their badge program last week, and they’ve got another event coming this weekend.

Women in Games International and the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles are holding an event on October 1 from 10 am to 4 pm at the Sony PlayStation Santa Monica Studio in Santa Monica, Calif. The move comes three years after the Boy Scouts created a merit badge series in 2013. But better late than never.
