Be a PAL Merit Badge Program
Protect A Life Mississippi Rainbow is proud to announce our partnership with the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network to present the Be a PAL Special Merit Badge Program. This program is designed to educate our members and our communities on the importance of understanding food allergies, and what to do if you or someone you know has food allergies or a food allergic reaction. The Be A PAL program promotes the better understanding of food allergies by defining what a food allergy is, how to read labels for an allergen-free diet, and how to cook allergen-free foods. Of the fourteen requirements defined by this program, seven of these must be met for a Rainbow Girl to receive the Be a PAL Special Merit Badge. A Rainbow Girl can only be awarded this Merit Badge once in her lifetime. Scientists estimate that 12 million Americans have food allergies. That's 1 in 25 people. The Be a PAL program for Mississippi Rainbow is designed to promote the awareness of food allergies until a cure can be found!
