A few tips for this final challenge:
  • The new Scout badge you can earn by successfully inviting someone to join community. You can invite people in your organization to join by clicking HERE. Invite people to Community is always an option in the dropdown menu under "Members" at the top of the page as well. You will receive the Scout badge if the person joins Community, not just for inviting them, they have to accept. 

     
  • Energizer Badge: The Community is FULL of great blogs. Each product page has two blogs - a tips and tricks blog & an announcements blog. The Best Practices page also has a series of blogs you can comment on. Check them out and leave comments to earn this badge! You can also read more about members in the Community spotlight HERE and leave comments based on fun facts you've learned about them in their spotlight. Hint: these are also great members to connect with!

     
  • Connector Badge: It is really easy to build connections in Community! Have you checked out our filtering options in the Members Section of Community? You can narrow members down by organization type, location, certifications, etc. I also recommend friending all of our Lifetime Leaders and members who make the leaderboard each week.

     
  • Facilitator: There is a great tab in the product communities that allow you to filter by questions that have no responses, jump in and help out if you can! You can also chime in on Best Practice conversations. Those questions are usually based around generic nonprofit best practices. 

     
  • Penpal: This is an easy one to achieve! If you connect with a member, just drop a note on their wall saying hi. Communicating with your Community Managers is easy too, if you post on MY WALL or SHANNON'S WALL - we'll see your message. 

     
I hope you've enjoyed the Badge Quest challenges! Completing quests 1,2, and 3 will earn you the coveted Community Ninja Badge.


It's never too late to get started. Here are the past quests:

Quest One: Chamber of Badges
Quest Two: Fellowship of the Badges


Earn the badges and then click the button of all knowing at the bottom of the pages. That's very important!


NINJA BADGES: The Ninja badges will be awarded at the end of each day. We have to double check all the actions taken to make sure we don't have any sneaky non-ninjas. 


Ninjas will now appear in our Community Leaderboard as well - it's important for the Community to see that you've completed all the challenges and you know your way around. Community Ninjas will also receive 100 bonus Community points. 


Did you earn Ninja status?? Congrats! Let us know in the comments below!

    Yay!  I'm ready for Quest 3!
  • LET"S GO FOLKS! Almost there! 
  • Nice. I'm having an issue with my connectors badge.  I have 39 connections, but I'm only level three... the badge glossary says level 5 is 20+  Am I doing something wrong?

    Done!
  • Ninja status here we go!
  • I really want that Ninja!  These quests have really helped me get more active and connected to the community.

    How will we know if someone accepts our invitation?
  • If someone accepts your invite and joins Community - the Scout badge appears. That way, you know it was a success!

    I am ready to become a ninja. Just one more badge to get, scout!
  • Scout is a tricky one, we know! Remember: you can always invite someone who isn't a Blackbaud user. We have a thriving Best Practices section that anyone who works for a non-profit can utilize. :-)
  • Oh, no! I think I'll be competing with someone else on the Manateam to get that Scout achievement, there are only a couple people here that haven't joined already. I'll just have to be quick. :)
  • Super excited for Badge Quest 3! I've soooooo enjoyed these challenges; I hope there are more to follow:)
  • No more Badge Quests after this one, but we WILL be announcing some exciting new features in Community soon. PLUS, more contests! There will also be a side quest in a few weeks for Raiders of the Lost Badges. :-)
  • Invitations sent. Holding breath someone makes me a Scout...
  • I will finally see my ninja badge tomorrow! I should start buying my ninja gear!

    Add one comment for my comment badges. :)
  • Will the scout badge be given out retroactively if you've already invited your staff to join... and they did?  :)
  • Mad kudos to Crystal and Shannon for coming up with a great contest!!
  • Good question, George. The Scout badge isn't retroactive, so if you invited someone and they accepted - you can email me their name & the date you invited them, I can double check and then award the badge. :-)
  • Woot woot! Keep going everyone!

  • This epic Community trilogy is almost complete!
  • I'm sneaky, but I completed all three this time.  heheh :)    I thoroughly enjoyed these quests.  The project accomplished it's goal concerning my participation and I can only imagine it has done wonders for the community as a whole.

    Thanks!
  • Oops, I think something went wrong. I misremembered one of my badges and clicked the Button of All Knowing, and it said "You're a ninja!", etc., and added me to the list - but my Connector and Penpal badges aren't high enough level!
