MS. PRESIDENT PATCH

 

Sponsor

Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.

GSUSA has teamed up with The White House Project, an organization that is changing the way people think about women in leadership roles, to create an exciting new Ms. President Patch for Girl Scouts of all ages.

Girls today have more choices than even before of what they can do when they grow up. Why not dream of becoming the first Ms. President? Ms. President, an online participation patch, can be found on the Just for Girls section of the Girl Scout website at www.girlscouts.org.

This patch provides an opportunity for girls to experience and celebrate women who are on the frontlines of government today. Girls can discover the accomplishments of strong women such as Sojourner Truth and Sybil Ludington by completing a matching game, or can explore the endeavors of women who have taken to the campaign trail.

Activities designed to be fun and informative have been developed for Daisy and Brownie Girl Scouts, Junior Girl Scouts, and Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts. Patches can be purchased through the council store or by calling the Girl Scout Center, ext. 141.
