PROGRAM BASICS | 5<br />
Badges & Fun Patches<br />
Badges and fun patch programs cannot be hosted at the same time. Meaning, a<br />
girl cannot earn a fun patch for work completed while earning a badge or vice versa.<br />
Badges must be separate and distinct programs.<br />
Girls can only earn badges that are designed for their Girl Scout level. A multileveled<br />
troop, with Brownies, Juniors, and Cadettes for example, cannot allow all of<br />
the girls to participate in a badge offering that is meant only for one level.<br />
Keep in mind there are costs associated with badges and patches. It is<br />
suggested that these are factored into the program participation fee.<br />
Overnights<br />
Don’t forget to coordinate with Council. While troops are welcome to contact<br />
companies or attractions that offer overnight experiences and organize their own,<br />
any council-wide overnight that involves multiple troops must be coordinated<br />
with <strong>Citrus</strong> Council. Overnight experiences contain very specific rules, including<br />
restrictions concerning where girls and adults sleep, and the number of required<br />
chaperones.<br />
Overnights must be planned at least 6 months in advance. Kindly note, interest<br />
does not guarantee that the program will occur due to the limited number of spaces<br />
available for overnights.
