Girls who participate are eligible to purchase the national patch ($2.00; worn on back of vest/sash). 

ALSO you can earn a FREE patch (pictured above) from our very own Virginia State Parks by participating in any ranger-led/volunteer-led program or stewardship opportunity or by completing an age-appropriate activity within this FREE Girl Scouts Love VA State Parks Self-Guided Patch Program booklet.
