In this post, we’ll dive into several exciting, fun patch opportunities that will inspire your girls to be leaders and have fun along the way. Let’s make this year unforgettable with a patch-filled journey!
While New Year’s Day is officially over, the fun is just beginning! Why not host a New Year’s Party at your upcoming troop meetings? It’s the perfect way to ring in the year with your girls.

As we know, the best way to inspire future leaders is by allowing girls to take charge! The Lead Patch Keys Fun Patch is a great way to encourage your girls to step into leadership roles at meetings or events. You can have your girls run the troop meeting, organize a ceremony, or even plan an event for the entire troop or other local groups.
Here are a few leadership opportunities to get them started:

Want to challenge your girls to take on a bigger role? Encourage them to become a Workshop Leader! Have your girls plan and host a workshop or party, either for their peers or even younger Girl Scouts. One fun idea is hosting a paint party! This activity can be customized for various age groups and includes different painting stations where girls rotate and create unique pieces of art. You can even have them work toward earning their Paint Badge!
If you're unsure where to start, check out my Paint Party with My Troop guide for inspiration, and feel free to adapt the ideas to suit your girls. After the event, don’t forget to award each girl the Workshop Leader Fun Patch for her outstanding leadership!
No matter their age, every girl is building leadership skills when they take charge. One fun way to highlight this is by having your girls organize and plan a special Winter Wonderland Ceremony . Provide them with the details and let them take the lead on decorating, setting up, and running the ceremony. This is a great way to showcase their ability to plan and execute an event from start to finish.
