DEA Red Ribbon Free Scout Patch Program


Girl Scout Troop 5823:
For the girls in my troop, Girl Scout Troop 5823, we will cover this on the 30th October 2018 
meeting. at our Girl Scout Meeting. We will cover safety with Halloween as well as cover this patch! For my cub scout siblings, they may earn this as well! 

Pin This!


Other Troops (both Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts) here is the information from the site directly with the requirements and resources!

@allaboutscouts will be sharing FREE Patch Programs & Resources here. So if you know of any, don't forget to be a sister/brother to other scouts, and let me know so we can share them! You can comment below and let me know! 

The DEA Red Ribbon Patch Program is designed to provide Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts the opportunity to earn a patch from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) by engaging in anti-drug activities in celebration of Red Ribbon Week. The purpose of the Patch Program is to empower young people to engage in a drug-free activity and strengthen their anti-drug beliefs.
DEA will award a Red Ribbon Patch and Certificate of Participation to the first 15,000 qualifying Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts! Check out the patch requirements below for items you'll need to complete the program.

@allaboutscouts ideas to fulfil the community requirements:

1) Have the kids make a flier about being drug-free and use the flier when the scouts do Scouting for Food (see post here about it and feel free to share too)

2) Make a community video in your troop meeting or den meeting to share. (Make sure you have parent permission). If you do, don't forget to check out signing up to be Scout of the Day and we will share it!

3) When you talk about Halloween safety, have the scouts make charts about understanding why parents should check their candy and why.
