What if two adults register with one child?
If two adults register with one child, they may share the needed four
services. Example: One adult could perform three services and the other one
service.
What if an adult has more than one daughter in Girl Scouting?
The adult should register with only ONE troop. A registered Girl Scout may
receive credit for any combination of four services completed. The four services
may be divided among or between sibling Girl Scouts or the four services may be
conducted with only one of the girls. In either case, all sibling Girl Scouts
are entitled to receive a patch.
Awarding the Patch:
- Patches will also be available to those adults who have performed the
services.
- Troop leaders will be able to purchase patches from Farthest North Girl
Scout Council.
- Patches will be worn on the back of the sash or vest.
- Troop leaders can decide when and how to award the patches to troop
members. They can be awarded individually after completion of requirements or
as a group in an awards ceremony.
- Only one patch will be awarded during the first year of participation. A
girl continuing with the program during the second year will be awarded a star
to attach to the patch.
