Wow! That's an "Ocelot" of spots you've got! Ocelots are like snowflakes, no two have the same "chain rosette" pattern of spots on their coats. These gorgeous cats are mostly found in Central America, but can also be found in Texas and Arizona. At twice the size of the typical house cat, these cats are small but mighty. Find out more about these beautiful creatures and how to help them from becoming extinct!
During Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15–October 15), we celebrate the countless contributions that Hispanic people and Latinos have made and continue to make in the United States. We honor the cultural richness of all people in the U.S. whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Girls and leaders have plenty of activities to choose from to earn this Fun Patch. And regardless of their specific ethnic heritage, they’re sure to learn interesting new things.
Have you ever eaten a meal and wondered how it was made? Completing the Cooking Series patch program is the perfect opportunity to learn cooking basics.

Complete each recipe individually or plan a day to prepare a full meal that will impress the whole family!
Available through September 30
You don’t need access to a national park or the woods to enjoy the outdoors! So put yourself out there with us and participate in our Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Challenge. Spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature is associated with good health and wellbeing, even if you spend that time becoming a rockstar at rock climbing or making a splash in the puddles around your neighborhood. Download our free activity sheet to see what’s possible right outside your own front door today!
Available through September 30.
Earn the More Days of Summer Patch by participating in EIGHT of the following activities, at least one from each category.

Complete this patch program to learn about the Bohol Tarsiers and how conservation efforts are needed for this species to survive.
