The popular website FreePrintableCertificates.net, which offers nearly 2,000 award certificates to download and print, is introducing a whole new batch of scouting certificates.
"These colorful, patch-like awards are great ways to recognize hard work, life skills, and qualities such as compassion and kindness," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "There are 72 new certificates in all."
The certificates can be presented to boys and girls in scout troops or to anyone pursuing goals at home, school or church. The designs feature a border plus an icon that looks like a sewn patch.
Some certificates are related to physical, mental or potential career-related skills such as: archery, astronomy, athletics, babysitting, entrepreneurship, comic artistry, cycling, detective skills, robotics, digital photography, environmental science, graphic arts, inventing, music, "netiquette," product design, sustainability, woodworking and even roller coaster design.
There are also "awards" to honor personal growth in terms of helping others, building friendships and caring for animals. These certificates include being "considerate and caring," "honest and fair," "respecting myself," and many more.
One batch of certificates is dedicated to camping achievements: backpacking, "buddy camper," primitive camping, camp counselor and more. Safety skills are also covered, including: emergency preparedness, various levels of first aid, fire safety and lifesaving.
The awards at FreePrintableCertificates.net range from achievement and education certificates to sports certificates and joke certificates.
Any certificate can be downloaded free as a PDF to print out and write upon. A DOC version you can type into using Microsoft Word before printing is available for $5 per design.
There are more than 100 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
