Badges & Patch Programs
What’s that? You’ve always wanted to…
Make your own movie, cook food from a different country, go geocaching, sleep under the stars, write a book of short stories, plant a garden?
Invent something new, paint a masterpiece, star in a play, take amazing nature photographs, make your bedroom into a jungle, run a business, go on an adventure trip?
Become an awesome babysitter, sew yourself a dress, build a wooden bench, learn to play a musical instrument, or design a website?
Great news! You can learn to do all these things and earn Girl Scout
badges as you go. Complete badges on your own, with your troop or
through council resources like the online calendar, VIP (Virtual Interactive Program) Troop
Experience or community partner opportunities.
Badges are to be worn on the front of the sash or vest.

P.R.A.Y. RP3 Patch Series

Bible Basics RP3 is a patch series from P.R.A.Y. It is designed to help families, Sunday school classes and Scouting groups get into the Bible. We firmly believe that time spent in the Bible can be precious time with God.
The Bible is basic to the Christian life, which is why the Bible is the emphasis of this new patch series. We're encouraging you to not only read the Bible, but also to take the time to picture the passage, ponder its meaning and put it into action. That’s what "RP3" is all about.
Families and groups taking part in the program will get to enjoy reading the Bible together, and become familiar with the RP3 outline and be equipped with a simple tool for personal Bible reading and study at the same time.
Upcoming virtual workshops include:
- February 26, 2022- Great Trees
- March 26, 2022- Rope (registration link coming soon!)
- April 30, 2022- Birds of the Air
