Summer Active Troop Challenge
Council Patch Program
Patch programs are a great way to explore a wide variety of topics. Detailed booklets describing the requirements for each patch are available below. Have fun exploring, Girl Scouts!
Summer is the perfect time to get together with your Girl Scout
sisters to enjoy the great outdoors, the longer days, and the warmer
weather. Camping adventures, picnics in the grass, visiting local
parks, trips to the lake…there are so many fun things to do this
summer with your Girl Scout troop!
Girl Scouts of the
Sierra Nevada wants to help your troop stay active with our 2019
Summer Active Troop Challenge. Troops who enroll by May 31 and
complete all of the requirements between June 1 and August 31 will
receive an exclusive Summer Active Challenge patch for their girls and
troop leaders!

In collaboration with Donor Network West and Donate Life, we’re proud
to present the Donate Life Patch Program – a unique opportunity for
Girl Scouts to explore how we can make a difference in the lives of
transplant patients through organ and tissue donation. Through this
patch program, Girl Scouts will gain knowledge about organ donation
and feel ready to inspire their friends, family, and community to
donate life.
This patch program is available for Daisies
through Ambassadors and can be completed as an individual Girl Scout
or as a troop. Click here to get started and download the patch
program requirements!

Kindness Patch Program
As Girl Scouts, we all know that within the smallest acts of kindness is the power to change the world for the better. And now, there's a patch for doing exactly that!
In collaboration with the non-profit organization Think Kindness, Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada (with the help of our amazing 2017-18 Girl Board Members Danielle and Baylee) has created the Kindness Patch Program -- a fun opportunity to explore the joys of doing good deeds and become a Kindness Champion! This program is open to Girl Scouts of all ages and consists of five engaging steps. By the end, you will have made your community a better place and inspired others to spread the message of kindness wherever they are.
Kindness Program Patches are now available for purchase in the GSSN Shop. Learn how you can earn your Kindness patch!
Grab your water bottle, sunscreen, and a pencil - it’s time to explore the Arboretum!
Complete the Wilbur D. May Arboretum Junior Naturalist Program and earn a patch!
The Wilbur D. May Arboretum Junior Naturalist Program is a “leaflet” of fun and engaging activities that has kids discover why the Arboretum is so special! Visit during the spring and summer to see the flowers come alive and put on a dazzling display, or in the fall as the trees show their true colors. Take your time and explore; like a museum’s rotating exhibits, changing seasons mean no two visits at the Arboretum are the same.
Each patch will cost $1 (cash or check only). Checks should be made out to the "May Arboretum".
For more information, please call 775-785-4153 or email the Arboretum Educator, Mandy, ARoyal@washoecounty.us.
This program is open to Girl Scouts of all ages.
