Be Prepared - Not Scared
Due to inventory delays, patches are not available at this time. Your GSCCS Girl Scout can still work on the program and order patches when they are back in stock.
Emergency Preparedness is often approached from a place of fear. Let’s face it, the subject can be daunting and scary. Girl Scouts of Central California South wants to make this subject fun for girls and volunteers. It is the intent of this patch program to take the fear away and replace it with empowered Girl Scouts!
Through this patch program, it is our hope to encourage Girl Scouts to engage in building resilience at the neighborhood level. Once completed, Girl Scouts will not only have taken charge of their learning but will be prepared and capable of taking a leadership role in their families and communities about preparedness.
The requirements for this patch program can be done individually, as a family, or as a troop.
Project TICK
Tick Aware & Tick Education Advocate Patch Programs
Girl Scouts of Central California South and the Alex Hudson Lyme Foundation have collaborated on a special patch to help educate our girls and their families on ticks and Lyme disease prevention. This booklet is designed with your Daisy, Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts in mind and we have a booklet for our Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador Girl Scouts as well. Here at Girl Scouts of Central California South, we know that our girls are powerful leaders in their communities and our hope is they will help spread awareness and knowledge to others to prevent Lyme disease.
About The Alex Hudson Lyme Foundation
Those who knew Alex well would agree that she was full of life, strong-willed and had an unwavering desire to help others. With a perpetual smile on her face, Alex excelled in school, on the field, and within her community. She lived for her faith and wanted nothing more than to bring happiness to those around her.
While Alex’s life was cut short by Lyme disease and MCAS, her mission to help others lives on through the work of AHLF. Working alongside community members, fellow Lyme advocates, and those struggling from Lyme disease and MCAS, the AHLF team carries out Alex’s work through her love, compassion and understanding heart. Alex’s sole mission, besides fighting for her own health, was to help and educate others battling from these debilitating diseases. Together we will keep her legacy alive.

Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Challenge
Girl Sports
Did you know that The Women's Sports Foundation has discovered that sports offer some extra benefits for girls in addition to having fun and getting fit (kidshealth.org)?
A few of these benefits include:
- Girls who play sports do better in school. People may think that athletics takes up all of a girl's study time. But research shows that girls who play sports do better in school. Exercise improves learning, memory, and concentration.
- Girls who play sports learn teamwork and goal-setting skills (things that go hand-in-hand with being a Girl Scout). Being a team player can make it easier to work with others and solve problems, whether on the field or in the classroom.
- Playing sports builds self-confidence. Girls involved in athletics feel better about themselves, both physically and socially. It helps to build confidence when you see your skills improving and your goals becoming reality.
- Exercise can cut the pressure. Pressure is a big part of life. Playing sports can help girls deal with it. Plus, when a girl is on a team, she has friends who support her on and off the field.
With this in mind why not have your Girl Scout try out that sport she's been wanting to learn more about. Or maybe she wants to hone in on practicing her fencing skills. Check out our Activity Calendar for more Girl Sports opportunities!
