Girl Scout Embroidered Patches Are a Long Standing Tradition

By Scott Hayes of Embroidered Patches Plus (http://www.embroideredpatchesplus.com)

Since it was founded in 1912, the Girl Scouts of America has been providing young women with opportunities that help them develop physically, mentally, and spiritually.  A big part of the program's success is through its use of custom embroidered Girl Scout patches, also known as merit badges.  The small pieces of memorabilia are handed out to individuals that exceed expectations by completing a series of tasks.

For example, to earn the Cookie Biz Badge, Girl Scouts must research one of the following careers-- a project manager, a public relations representative, an accounting manager, an entrepreneur, a community philanthropist or an event manager.  They also have to create an infomercial that shares their ideas for recipes using cookies as the main ingredients.  Once the tasks on the list have been completed, the girl is given her custom embroidered participation patch which she must wear on the back of her uniform.

Opportunities to Earn Merit Badges

Girl Scouts of all ages have the opportunity to earn embroidered patches throughout the year.  Individuals that attend camp or sell cookies are often rewarded with their very own customized gift.  They can then choose to display the patch on their uniform where everyone can see it.  This helps boost morale by identifying each member's accomplishments.

Designing Your Troops Embroidered Patches

Many Troops sponsor contests where the winner's design is turned into a custom embroidered patch.  These items are rich with sentimental value.  The girl who comes up the chosen design is filled with a sense of pride because she gets to physically wear her own personalized patch.  She also gets the glory of knowing that the rest of the girl's in her Troop will be donning her design as well.

Ways to Create a Standout Scout Patch

Girl Scout patches come in every size, shape, and color.  That means that you get the design you want 100% of the time.  In addition to being available with different percentages of embroidery, they also come with your choice of backings.

You can sew or iron on the patches as well as attach them with Velcro if you wish.  This makes it easier to move around your Girl Scout embroidered patches as often as you need to.  Rather than be given the tedious task of removing stitches, you can simply pull it off and place it in the desired area of the uniform in a matter of seconds.  This helps increase the vest or shirt's visual appeal.

No matter what the occasion, it is always fitting to celebrate an achievement with a custom embroidered patch.  Girl Scouts around the country are doing something spectacular each and every day.  That is why it is hard not to honor them with their own personalized patches.
