The new Cider Making Merit Badge Event begins today and runs through December 11. In this event there will be three weeks of challenges, and if you complete them before time runs out, you will earn a new animated badge.
To progress each week, you must complete either the three free challenges, or the optional premium challenge. If you complete the necessary challenges for the week, you will earn a Merit badge.
If you collect all 3 Merit badges before the event is over, you will earn the animated Super Scout badge.
Head over to the merit challenge landing page to get started and track your progress. If you need any help with these games, browse through our Pogo Games pages.

Thanks, I’m ready to go!
In Jet Set Solitaire, play San Francisco -> Golden Gate Bridge.
I got this image from the tips and tricks section:

Thanks! These challenges don’t look too difficult.
The only one I don’t care for the the solitaire home story. I’ll work on that first and if things don’t go well, I’ll buy the premium challenge instead.
Fill the streak meter 130 times in solitaire?! Geez
I have a feeling I’ll be spending gems to finish this event
That’s a cute premium badge, I’m tempted to buy it even if I don’t need it.
I have a feeling a lot of members won’t be happy with that solitaire challenge
The solitaire challenge is going smoother than expected. I still may purchase the premium badge, but we’ll see how much progress I make today without it.
I’m bowing out and getting the premium badge this week. I don’t have the time to mess with the Solitaire challenge.
