Troop meetings are awesome, but why let the good times stop there? Check out some of our favorite activities - then try them at home with your family or friends for free!
ACTIVITY ZONEWear It Where?
You're earning badges, patches and awards - but where do they belong? Here's the rundown on what goes where on your tunic, sash or vest.
Flag patch, council name patches, and troop numbers go on the front right, in that order, starting at the top.
Badges and Journey awards always go on the front, starting at the bottom. On a vest, badges go on the right and Journey awards on the left. On a sash, badges go below Journey awards.
Fun patches from trips and experiences always go on the back.
Give a Little, Get a Lot
Girl Scouts works best with a community. Similar to a potluck, where each family pitches in just a little, or steps up to take on one or two tasks, everyone benefits big time!
Here are a few ways to help out that take less than an hour per week:
- Organize a troop snack calendar
- Manage a troop carpool calendar
- Put together at-home badge supply kits
- Set up and maintain a troop social media account
- Volunteer to take pictures or videos at troop meetings
