girl scouts of the colonial coast
Hey, Girl Scouts! We want to see your creative side shine! You could be the winner of our next First Day Patch Design Contest- and your design will be produced as the official patch given to everyone who renews their membership of the first day of early renewal, April 1, 2021.
What do you picture when you think of Girl Scouts making a difference? Put those thoughts into an illustration! Keep in mind that sometimes simple is better and small details may not convey well on a real-life patch!
Using the theme, Girl Scouts Make a Difference, submit designs from February 1-28. GSCCC staff will select the top 10 designs by Friday, March 1.
Your patch design must meet the following criteria:
• Fit entirely into the 3.5 inch circle
• Use no more than 9 colors
• All designs must include “GSCCC” or “Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast” AND “2022 First Day Patch” somewhere on the patch.
• Designs must be original and may not contain existing or copyrighted photos, illustrations or renderings.
Contest Rules:
• Contest is open to all GSCCC Girl Scout girls K-12.
