The club offers four types of badges: monthly, quarterly, yearly, and merit badges. These will be explained in greater detail within this blog post.

• Monthly badges are among the simplest awards available in the Rebel Badge Club. They typically involve engaging activities such as scavenger hunts, reading or viewing content, and completing a creative task. Participants are usually required to fulfill a specific number of these activities to earn the badge, although there is flexibility to complete additional activities if desired. Such flexibility in activity completion is rarely imposed. This has been my favorite monthly badge thus far. Examples of these badges include the Sports Day badge, the Pirate Badge, and the Rebels Go Wild badge.

• Quarterly badges serve to motivate individuals to complete merit badges. Additionally, a bonus 12-week challenge is included to encourage the accomplishment of these badges. Currently, I am working on the ‘Ready Player One’ badge. Other examples include ‘Be Creative’, ‘Inspire 2026’, and ‘The Greatest Show’. I have completed the ‘Film Critic’ badge and plan to pursue badges in ‘Brain Games’, ‘Outdoor Cooking’, and ‘Concise Consumer’. Examples of badges available within a quarterly program include ‘Costume Making’ for ‘Be Creative’, ‘Public Speaker’ for ‘The Greatest Show’, and ‘My Heroes’ for the ‘Inspire 2026’ quarterly badge.

• Yearly/Annual badges-these badges are designed to motivate ongoing achievement. I regard these as akin to New Year’s resolutions, as they are awarded each year. I am pleased to have completed the Rebel Health Check 2026, the 52 books challenge, and the Big Rebel Adventure 2026 (BRA) this year. Other recent accomplishments by fellow Rebels include participating in hiking challenges related to the BRA, presenting a drawing of a duck and a mermaid losing their bicycle race—created by Chief Rebel Charly to illustrate the operation of the Rebel Cup from its inaugural year, titled Best of Rebel Cup #1—and committing to drinking more water as part of the Rebel Health Check 2026.

• The final badge I will discuss is the Merit Badge, as it is ultimately the primary reason for our participation, given that we initially purchased the first book to be here.
