Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson Council’s Own Patch programs are unique to  our council and are written and developed by our very own girls, volunteers and staff. These patch programs provide the opportunity to explore topics beyond those in the handbooks and other GSUSA resources.

Help Bring Back the Eastern Bluebird     |     Purchase Patch      For girls of all ages The Eastern Bluebird is the State Bird of New York, but most New Yorkers have never seen one. Because of loss of its natural habitat and loss of nesting cavities, the bluebird population declined by as much as 90%. Fortunately, bluebird enthusiasts reversed this trend by building and mounting thousands of bluebird nest boxes. Girl Scouts can join in this environmental success story. I'm Special     |     Purchase Patch       For girls of all ages In order to become leaders who posses courage, confidence and character, girls must gain specific knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviors and values related to Girl Scouting. The I’m Special Patch program helps girls to discover themselves, connect with others and feel empowered to take action to make the world a better place. Stars of the Hudson       |      Application For girls of all ages The Stars of the Hudson patch has been established to recognize troops that have provided a well rounded, quality program for the year and that had trained leaders/advisors, as specified by Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson (GSHH).     Steppin' Out with GSHH          For girls of all ages In this age of computers, video games and cell phones that do everything but shine your shoes we as Girl Scouts have to take responsibility and stay active.

Together We Prepare     |     Purchase Patch       For girls of all ages The Together We Prepare Girl Scout patch program was jointly developed by the American Red Cross and the Girl Scout Council of the Nation’s Capital.
