Bring the exploration, fun, and learning of Girl Scouts to your family or troop. Use our self-guided PDFs or virtual patch program videos to keep your girl, your troop, and your community connected.
Completing patch programs will help your girls along their Journey, and may satisfy requirements for certain badges.
After completing a patch program, you can purchase your fun patch from our council shops for $1.25 at our council shops or by visting our online shop. Fun patches can be worn on the back of Girl Scout's vest or sash.

Registration:
Completing the challenge is free and does not require
registration. Registration is required for Girl Scouts to receive the
Mental Wellness Challenge patch. The patch is only available for
purchase through this registration
link.
Included in the cost of registration is an
optional one-hour, live, virtual event with Girl Scouts Western
Pennsylvania staff as we complete challenges #2, #7, #9, and #24
together. The virtual session will take place on May 29, 2024, at 6
p.m. EST. The session will not be recorded.
Troops may
attend the virtual session together, but each Girl Scout must be
registered to receive the patch. Patches will be mailed at the close
of registration. Registration closes on June 15.
Every month we feature a patch program. Check back each month for activities.
