Here’s a possible start for the sand badge, very simple things to make, and oh, so useful:
- make a 4oz jar of calendula salve
- make a 4oz jar of cottonwood buds salve
- collect and properly dry 1oz nettles for tea
Really endless possibilities...
Edited to add: am I on the right track? I could go on and on...

It looks to me like most of what is being focused on here is basic herbal medicine.

I've treated the odd thing that I would absolutely have preferred to send to a hospital, but the most notable occasion was on a cross-country ski trip by bus in a snow storm. By the time the fellow got home, got to emerg, and got his GP to show up in emerg, she took one look at the job I'd done (steri-stripping a very long but relatively shallow cut) and decided it would do more harm than good to disturb the wound. Helping people get a sense for what they can tackle safely on their own, what they've got instructions for handy, what requires a phone call, and what requires a phone call from the car while speeding out the driveway is a learning curve we need to help people get the sense of.You don't want someone trying to treat an acute appendicitis with an herb tea or poultice unless you have NO other choice and understand the risk.

Yes, you can order dried herbs on the internet but is that what we want people to learn? Don't we want them to learn what plants grow where they live that can be useful? I'm not saying it has to be native, I grow all sorts of herbs that didn't originate where I live (zone 6) but there are plenty I grew up with living on the equator that I simply can't grow. So why learn their medicinal properties, make salves and tinctures with them when I have to import them via the internet? So maybe the second part of the badge (after journaling!) would be to determine what medicinal plants are (or could be) available wherever the badge earner lives and their (general) medicinal uses. Maybe this list would be the first entry in their journal? Then, if their circumstances are such they can't actually harvest said plants themselves ordering them over the internet would be an acceptable alternative.

Drying and processing specific herbs for teas, like raspberry leaf.
Growing and drying specific roots for teas & tinctures, like valerian root.
Harvesting and drying certain flowers for teas and tinctures, like chamomile.
That's a few I can think of at the moment.

Sand Badge--should be composed of tasks that take a total of 5 hours to complete.
Straw Badge-- +35 hours over sand (total of 40 hours), so about 4 or 5 days to complete all the tasks.
Wood Badge -- +180 hours over straw (total of 220 hours), about 4 to 5 weeks to complete all the tasks
Iron Badge -- +1030 hours over wood (total of 1250 hours) , about six months to complete all the tasks.

Each badge takes a specific amount of time for a relatively skilled person to accomplish. The highest level takes a total of 1250 hours to accomplish (so probably 6 months). Someone who has the highest badge would be an expert in it....which is why it's hard for Paul to figure out what that would look like for Natural Medicine, because he is NOT an expert. That's why we need help!

Someone with an Iron badge in Natural Medicine would be like Skeeter (Michael Pilarski).
Grows some of the medicinal plants, forages for others, makes all the potions and tinctures, sells them, knows what every plant is good for, and teaches others. ☺️
Ps: Nicole, you always make the best summaries and explanations. And posts.

OOOOOH! That all adds up to about 5 hours! Now the question is, is there anything we really want people to learn as basic herbal medicine? To free up more time, e could reduce the salves/tintures to doing just one, and then have people make even more different things during the sand badge
