STREAMSS Curriculum Social Studies Pathway Badge – Foundations (K–2)
 
“Earn, Learn, and Celebrate Every Step.”
 
The Social Studies Badge (Foundations K–2) celebrates a child’s first steps in understanding people, places, and communities. Designed in our Pink Desert theme, this embroidered square badge features a globe and cactus silhouettes set against pastel sands and turquoise skies — representing the connection between the world and the learner’s own environment.
