Are you ready to be a changemaker?
Keep an eye on your mailbox over the next few weeks! Your Girl Scout will be receiving her first fun patch and activity magazine. These girl-led activities will introduce her to the Girl Scout Promise, Girl Scout Law, and badges she can earn with her troop, or on her own!
At Girl Scouts, every girl and volunteer has the power to change the world. Get ready for fun and adventure, because you are going to make the world a better place—today and for the next generation.
No need to wait for your fun patch to arrive, get started now!
