GSCNC Patch Programs

Patches are insignia that are worn on the back of the uniform. Patches can be official Girl Scout awards designed by GSUSA or the council, troops, or service units. Commercial vendors, such as museums, sometimes design them. Patches can be designated as earned awards with requirements or participation patches that are available to anyone attending an event.
