Growing up doesn't come with an instruction manual, but Girl Scouts can get a head start! The Adulting 101 Patch Program is designed specifically for Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors who are ready to build real world skills that will prepare them for life beyond high school.
Throughout this self-paced program, girls will explore four essential areas of adulthood:
🏡 Skills for Life: Everyday responsibilities such as cooking, home maintenance, organization, and practical problem solving.
💙 Personal Life: Health, wellness, relationships, self care, communication, and personal growth.
💰 Financial Life: Budgeting, saving, banking, credit, taxes, and making smart financial decisions.
🏛 Civic Life: Community involvement, government, voting, advocacy, and becoming an engaged citizen.
Each focus area contains four rockers for the patch, allowing participants to earn up to 16 rockers as they complete activities. Girls have the flexibility to earn each rocker by completing either four smaller activities or one larger project, giving them the freedom to choose the learning style that works best for them. There is no "one size fits all" approach to completing the program.
Girls who have already earned qualifying Girl Scout badges may automatically earn the corresponding Adulting 101 rocker, recognizing the knowledge and skills they have already gained through their Girl Scout experience. In addition, participants have the opportunity to earn up to 18 Girl Scout badges while completing Adulting 101 activities, making progress toward both badge work and the Adulting 101 Patch at the same time.
Whether you're preparing for college, your first apartment, your first paycheck, or simply becoming more independent, the Adulting 101 Patch Program will help you develop the confidence and practical skills needed to thrive. Lunch will be provided.
