Navigating today’s complex world can be tough, especially for girls and teenagers. Girl Scouts of the USA and our trusted partners have joined forces to make it a little easier. New activities and trainings give Girl Scouts and their families, caregivers, and volunteers the essential tools to support emotional intelligence, mental health and wellness, and to proactively practice self-care.
Designed for Girl Scouts in 4th to 12th grades, our new mental wellness patches help girls learn about self-care, build healthy habits, safely explore their feelings, and to seek support and resources in a safe and intimate setting. From learning about their emotions (Knowing My Emotions for Juniors), to advocating for themselves (Finding My Voice for Cadettes), and learning to cope with difficult situations (Showing Up For Me and You for Seniors and Ambassadors), Girl Scouts gain the confidence to show their strength. Along the way, they learn what mental health is, how to combat stigma, and how to take care of their own mental wellness as they navigate today's complex and challenging world.
Explore these programs with FREE activities.
Girl Scouts aren’t immune from feeling stressed. This patch will help them be ready for when things get tough.
