Girl Scouts of Eastern Mass recently updated the requirements for troops to earn the Troop Terrific patch. The purpose of this patch is to recognize girls and troops for their Girl Scout pride, and to assist volunteers and girls in planning a balanced troop year, by incorporating:
- Journeys and the Girls Guide to Girl Scouting
- The three keys to leadership: Discover, Connect, and Take Action
- The three processes: Girl Led, Cooperative Learning, Learning by Doing
- Interaction with troops across Eastern Massachusetts
- Community Service
- Service Unit Participation
- GSEMA Program Participation
- Volunteer Team and Volunteer Training
This patch program is based on troop participation, rather than individual girl achievement. If the troop completes the activities, individual girls are not excluded from earning the patch because they missed one or some of the activities.
