She lists the ones on the badge photo, and it is the third one over in the upper right corner. She may be guessing what it is, too, though.

And if Southern California made computers, it wouldn’t be so hard for me to find the effing tilde that should go over the N in “pinata.”

shari: i live in chicago. this *IS* the north pole!

nat: oh, you haven’t begun to see nightmare toys yet…

gary: good question – maybe it still exists, but only for junior girl scouts.

greeneyezz: and here i was totally counting on you to tap into your girl scout past!

christie and cindi b: this is why i love the internet – not only have you all figured out what the mystery badge is, but now i know how to earn it, too! thanks so much!

Toy museums, miniature shops, etc… seem to have activities that count toward the badge.

What a fun idea– keep us posted!

From http://www.backstagepassparties.com/burghers/girlscouts.html

Junior Girl Scout Badges–Toymaker

This workshop completes 6 of the activities that help the girls earn the “Toymaker” badge. The girls learn about the different kinds of puppets and they finish their own toy puppet. They learn about toys around the world and toys through history. They create their very own board game and create their own “trash toy” made from anything that might be thrown away like boxes, cans, string, buttons, newspapers, etc. They also learn about toy safety.
