Council Patch and Boxed Programs: A Program Resource for Girl Scout Leaders Effective Girl Scout program is a combination of troop program activities, service unit program events, and council-wide events.  Each has its place in meeting the needs of girls as they grow and develop. The Girl Scout organization was started in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low to give the girls the opportunity to experience a wide range of activities within the framework of a positive value-based movement.  The mission of Girl Scouting is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scout program is designed to guide girls to discover, lead and take action.  The physically and emotionally safe girls-only environment inspires and empowers girls on their journey of discovery and leadership.  To Download You may download a copy of our Council Patch and Boxed Programs from the Publications section of our site by clicking here.
