ADOPT A TROOP PATCH PROGRAM
you can print this page and share it with others
there are fourteen requirements to choose from

Adopt a troop within your neighborhood or through another state. You can contact your service unit manager and ask if there are any new leaders that might want to complete an activity together or go on a field trip together. Younger scouts can adopt kindergarten level. While 4-6th grades can adopt 1-3rd graders etc. Complete one of the following requirements to adopt your troop. You can complete more and keep the project on going according to the amount of time you have to dedicate to the other troop. Please note that some of the activities require you to live near the participants, therefore there are several activities to choose from. Don't forget to order your Adopt a Troop patch for your troop and your adopted troop.

1. Start a pen pal with your troop you adopted. If you are choosing to only be pen pals with your troop you adopt then you can contact your council for more information about receiving a pen pal through scouts.

2. Plan an outing for your troops to meet and have fun. Work on the games patch, mystery program, or have fall fun.

3. Order the new laser cut girl patches and stories for your group and pass the book to your adopted and troop after your troop has taken them on an adventure. Include pictures of your adventures and don't forget to send them to Patchwork Designs to be listed on our site. This can be completed once or enjoy exploring each girls world. ( this program is coming soon)

4. Provide your adopted troop with a craft kit or program book to help them easily prepare for a meeting. Patchwork Designs can mail these items to your adopted troop for you.

5. Mail or give your adopted troop a reward patch or fun activity patch.

6. Collect basic craft supplies for your adopted troop.

7. Work on a community service project together. You don't have to be at the meeting to assist them in getting started. Let them know where they can send their items. Such as stamp ministry, Valentines for Veterans, and creating blankets. The information on where to mail or drop off these items is located on Patchwork Designs, Inc.

8. Help the troop research Thinking Day or provide them with a country manual.

9. Assist the troop in creating swaps for a special event.

11. Host a party or special event for your troop. This can be a Halloween party, tea, holiday fun, BINGO or game night.

12. Assist the troop in earning a badge, petal, or try-it. You can put together a kit to earn the item or create worksheets for them to complete. If you are local you can attend their meeting and assist them there. We offer scout kits to complete.
