What is Patch Pals?

When you become a Patch Pal, your organization gains exposure to families, volunteers, and community leaders across multiple channels - but it’s more than just visibility. It’s about leveraging the strength and credibility of the Girl Scout brand, which has been trusted and recognized for over 100 years, to enhance your own brand’s reputation. Research shows that associations with trusted organizations can increase consumer trust, recall, and engagement, providing measurable value for partner organizations.
