Do you know what July means? It means we are in the heart of summer. In this post, I share 5 great fun patches with some activities to do with your girls that would go great with the fun patch. There is so much to do in July outdoors, and these patches can be great reminders of events such as a 4th of July event, summer camp, organizing a lemonade stand with your troop or maybe doing some vintage camper camping? Scroll down to learn more about each of these events, including activities and a patch to go with them.


While we all love earning badges to put on the front of our vest. It is just as much fun to participate in events, activities, and programs to earn fun patches for the back of our vest. 

4th of July Fun Patch

The 4th of July is a great time to celebrate with a picnic with your troop. You could do a craft, play some games, and have some fun outdoors. If you need some inspiration, check out my Pinterest board, which has lots of ideas to get you started. Be sure to follow my page for ideas for every occasion.


Then, after your meeting or party, what better way to remember your fun than with this Fun Patch for the back of the vest.

Lemonade Stand Patch

A great summer fundraiser is to run a lemonade stand. If you have a community sale or flea markets in the area it be a great time to set up a stand and sell as fundraiser for troop.

Summer camp is a big thing with girls. There are so many different camps to go to. Whether you choose to go to a council camp or run a Troop camping event. If you need help planning your camping food check out some of these great themed camping events I have run in the past.
