Come with the troop or on your own with a favorite grown-up. At Girl Scouts, we know that it takes a lot to keep up with girls. It takes activities and experience that allow girls to follow the fun, do what they love and set off on their next big adventure. Girls can sign up for these programs together as a troop or, even more common, they can register on their own and make new friends at the event. This year, resolve to bring her to some of these awesome Girl Scout programs where she will discover that anything is possible! 2

2017 COMMUNITY SERVICE PATCH

31 Random Acts of Kindness Do a good turn daily in October! “To put yourself in another’s place requires real imagination, but by doing so each Girl Scout will be able to live among others happily.” ~ Juliette Gordon Low Community service is as important to Girl Scouting as earning patches, badges and awards! Since the beginning in 1912, Girl Scouts have tackled projects, big and small, to make the world a better place. Giving back and doing good deeds is part of our DNA. The Girl Scout slogan says to do a good turn daily. We’re putting a new twist on that. In October, we’re challenging Girl Scouts to do a good turn every day of the month - that’s 31 days of good deeds. Why October and why 31? Well our amazing founder Juliette Gordon Low’s birthday was October 31. Let’s celebrate and earn in the Girl Scout way by doing good deeds every day of the month.

Need ideas? Leave an anonymous note telling someone how special they are. Open a door for the person behind you. Take your neighbor’s dog for a walk. Save your change, then treat a loved one to an ice cream cone. Call grandma and tell her your favorite memory of a time spent together. They’re random ideas. And the possibilities are endless. How can you spread kindness in the community? Find more ideas at randomactsofkindness.org. Patch Requirements Complete 31 random acts of kindness and record it on the patch form at gsbadgerland.org. Fill in the order form online, email it to us and we’ll pop your patch in the mail. That’s it. We can’t wait to see what kind things Badgerland gets up to this fall! 10

GIRLS LOVE STEM. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get them doing! 2017 Badgerland Project Patch Badgerland is going MAD (Make A Difference) for science! Girls will become citizen scientists to earn the patch.

New Patch Programs

A citizen scientist is a volunteer who helps professional scientists answer big questions about the world. Girl Scout citizen scientists will do research, collect data, then share it with the scientific community. How It Works: First figure out what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in. Maybe counting birds or butterflies during migration season? Once you decide what to study, identify a scientific expert or organization that needs your help and connect with them to gather more information. Then, take action by starting your project! Details on earning the patch: gsbadgerland.org

Earn our new Girl Scout Makers Patch! Makers create, build, design and engineer amazing things every day. Girl Scout Makers will learn to use technology to make a difference. LEADERS: Makers Patch Kits are available for check-out at all Badgerland Service Centers. Each kit includes all the pieces your girls need to complete the steps to earn the patch along with simple instructions and an Adult Learning Guide that makes it easy for you to do STEM. Daisy Makers Patch: Make simple circuits using Snap Circuits Brownie Makers Patch: Make intermediate circuits using Little Bits Junior Makers Patch: Learn block code to program a mini computer Cadette Makers Patch: Write code to program a mini computer Senior Makers Patch: Program a computer to make synthesized music Ambassador Makers Patch: Code, create and test your own Android app gsbadgerland.org
