|

Time to read 2 min

August is here, and with it comes the excitement of fall approaching and troops getting back into full swing! While we all love earning badges for the front of our vests, it's just as much fun to participate in events, activities, and programs that earn those awesome fun patches for the back. This post shares five fantastic fun patch ideas, complete with activities, that are perfect for your August troop adventures. From fall campouts to apple picking, these patches will be great reminders of the memories you make.


Fall Campout Fun Patches

When it comes to fall campouts, the options are endless! Our troop always loves to do themed campouts, which adds an extra layer of fun. Some ideas we've enjoyed include a Cat and Dog, Spud night, baby day out and super hero party.


After your exciting campout, commemorate the fun with a special patch.


High-Flying Kite Fun

Who doesn't love flying kites? While you can certainly purchase kits and head straight to an open field, your girls might have even more fun making their own kites to fly! There are tons of ideas out there to get you started on a DIY kite project.


After a fantastic time watching their creations soar, be sure to get each of your girls this adorable kite-flying patch for the back of their vests.


Go Fishing!

Gather your girls and head out for a fishing adventure! If you don't have any gear, consider a first-time fishing kit for the girls to get them started. Be sure to check your local parks for any fishing events or classes designed for youth – these can be a great way to learn the ropes.


Once you've reeled in some fun, make sure each of your girls gets this adorable fishing patch for the back of their vests!


Apple Picking Adventures

Embrace the approaching fall by finding a local farm that allows for pick-your-own apples. It's a wonderful way to get outside and enjoy the crisp air. If you're looking for recommendations, there are many fantastic orchards across the country worth checking out.


After your delicious apple-picking excursion, add this great fun patch to the back of their vests to remember the day.


Cider Mill Exploration

Visiting a cider mill is another quintessential fall activity! Find a local mill that offers tours or allows visitors to see the cider-making process. Many also have delicious treats and fresh cider to enjoy. Just like with apple picking, there are many great cider mills to explore.


To remember your delightful adventures at the cider mill, get this nice fun patch to put on the back of your girls' vests!


These fun patches and activities are perfect for making lasting memories with your troop this August.

Enjoy every minute being a leader and continue to inspire your girls!
