The My Family Story Try-it is part of the “It's Your World - Change It!” badge set introduced in 2011.
For the badges released in 2011, scouts must complete all of the activities listed to earn the badge. This badge partially replaces the Listening to the Past Try-it.
- The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Museum in Washington, DC offered a program in 2013 that covered most of the requirements in this badge. Our Brownies did this and had a lot of fun with it. See the Girl Scout section on their website for details.
