Milestones with meaning
Banjo and Bear Badges
Banjo can explain and celebrate approved camping milestones, but he never decides whether a stay is verified. Bear Badges come only from Approved Verified Stays; Bear Points remain separate.
Forest Bear
Example Progress
31 of 40 verified stays
Progress to Trail Bear
77%
Reach 40 verified stays to earn the Trail Bear badge.
Bear Badge progression is based on verified camping stays—not Bear Points.
Useful guidance, carefully sourced
Banjo's Trail Tips
Trail Tips are short, destination-aware editorial notes. Guidance that can change must be checked against an authoritative source before publication.
