Grow Your Troop
Patch Program
December 1, 2018-February 28, 2019
Increase Your Troop
Size And Earn Make New Friends Patches!
Did you know that GSUSA research
shows that the most successful troops have at least 12 girls? Just imagine what
could happen if your troop added at least one new girl? Not only would more
girls be able to participate in Girl Scouts, it allows existing members to flex
their leadership and social skills which builds confidence as they mentor their
new Girl Scout friends.
1. How can my troop
participate?
Step
1.
Be open to adding new girls to your troop.
Email customercare@gsccc.org
and let us know what openings you have available. The placement team will help steer new girls
to your troop. When someone joins your
troop, you will receive an email with the family’s contact information to reach
out to them directly. Make sure you contact new families right away!
Step
2.
By February 28, 2019, add new girls to your troop.

2. How can we find new girls to add to the troop?
- Talk to your service unit coordinator or your service unit placement coordinator to see if there are girls in the area on a wait list.
- Have the girls in your troop pass out fliers to their friends.
- Have the girls in your troop bring a friend to a meeting.
- Wear Girl Scout swag often, especially on meeting days!
- Add your troop to the Troop Opportunity Catalog.
- Bring a friend to a Girl Scout program event.
3. How will we
receive our patches?
We’ll
deliver your patches to your service unit leader meeting.
