Patch Programs
Free Girl Scout activities created with Central Texas in mind.
Explore more opportunities for learning and earning! Girl Scouts of Central Texas patches are created locally to provide learning and skill-building activities beyond those listed in Girl Scouts’ program-level handbooks. Every Girl Scout grade level has a patch curriculum that can be accomplished as a troop, as a family, or independently.
Patch programs get Girl Scouts involved in the community by learning new skills, such as thinking like an entrepreneur, experiencing local art, or making a sustainable impact on the environment.
