As Girl Scouts we strive to be friendly and helpful, considerate and caring and respectful to all people. We are sisters to every Girl Scout and can help to make the world a better place by exploring and celebrating diversity. Through the She’s My Friend Patch Program, girls will explore inclusivity, the value of each person in a society and discover the confidence to stand up for what is right. Girl Scouts encourages every girl to develop her own beliefs and to advocate for them. Click Here to Download the Patch Program.
Why earn the CEO Patch?
The CEO Patch, named for the work of the Chief Executive Officer, is seen in the public eye as a premier representation of the Girl Scout community. While earning the CEO Patch, girls learn the importance of positive recognition in her community and the media.
How do I earn my CEO Patch?
The CEO Patch is earned by completing any act that raises recognition for the mission of Girl Scouts. Recognition can be earned at school, church, on social networking sites, in the media, or any other avenue in which the act is made known to the public.
What it is like to be a CEO?
Here are some of the things you can do to earn your CEO Patch:
- Have your mayor sign a Girl Scout proclamation
- Submit an article to your local newspaper about a community service project
- Create a Girl Scout poster to hang at your local library
- Organize a Girl Scout Sunday/ Sabbath event at your church
- Talk to community leaders about what you’re learning in Girl Scouts and how they can support your troop.
To receive the CEO Patch girls must submit their activities, pictures and detailed information online.
After you earn your CEO Patch…
Every girl earning the CEO Patch will be invited to attend a “CEO Meet and Greet” reception! At the reception she’ll have a Meet & Greet with the CEO, participate in Girl Scout focus groups, and meet other CEO Patch recipients from around the council.
And, one lucky Girl Scout will be selected to be “CEO for a Day” where she’ll get to have a one-on-one meeting with the CEO and enjoy a day at the council.
