Other badges/patches
You already know your girls can earn badges and patch programs offered by your own council but did you know you can earn then from other councils? Yes, you can!
Most other councils just require you to place the order and pay for them. I few require an info form requesting info on how you earned them. You need to go to the councils websites to find what they offer and contact them directly.
There are also many groups that have patch programs or badge programs you can do to supplement the new (and in my opinion very lacking) gsusa badge offerings.
Here are a few I am fond of (I will add on when I find others):
