Who can earn council program patches?
Any registered Girl Scout who meets the grade level requirements listed can earn a council patch. Girls affiliated with a troop, an interest group or registered as Juliettes may work on council patch programs. Girl Scouts from other councils may also earn these patches.

Where are council patches worn on a uniform?
Council patches are unofficial recognitions and are to be worn on the back of a uniform sash or vest.

How do I order council program patches?
Please fill out an order form and mail to any GSEIWI Girl Scout Service Center. Most patches are stocked in our Girl Scout Shops; however, some patches may need to be ordered, especially for larger quantities.

Can my girls participate in any of the council patch programs?
Each patch program comes with stated grade requirements. These programs were designed with the abilities of girls in those grades in mind. Please note that leaders should refer to Safety-Wise and the Volunteer Resource Guide while planning for all troop activities to ensure that the proper training, insurance and guidelines are met to ensure the safety of the group.

What if I have additional questions about council patches?
For additional questions, please contact a program manager.
