1. Patch Design
Give an extra incentive to participate by offering a patch to any Girl Scout who choose to donate shoes in place of receiving a reward item.
If you sign up by September 1, 2024, you will receive free patches for the girls who donate their rewards toward The Shoe That Grows. Patches will be mailed after we receive your donation and the final number of girls who participated. If you prefer to have your own patches printed, you're welcome to download the design to do so.
2. Additional Resources
Below are some additional resources that you can use for your reward program. These resources will help your girls become excited about The Shoe That Grows and help them understand how to get involved!
Each cultural activity features a different country. On the first day of the series, you can give each Girl Scout their own passport to use throughout. You can purchase rubber stamps [🇨🇩] [🇸🇻] [🇸🇾] [🇮🇳] [🇪🇨] [🇳🇬] [🇬🇹] [🇭🇹] [🇰🇪] [🇯🇴] [🇺🇬] and at the end of each lesson, stamp each girls’ passport with that country’s flag stamp.
