Council Fun Patch Contest
Design GSSEM's 2026 council fun patch (CFP).
Unleash your inner artist and create a patch you and your GSSEM sisters would be proud to wear in 2026.
Let your creativity shine! Designs may be thoughtful, funny, quirky, serious, etc.—as long as they come from the heart. The winning artwork will be GSSEM's official fun patch for 2026, available next year via curbside pickup and at our council shops.
This contest begins on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 12:00 AM EST.
Your design should reflect:
- What being a Girl Scout means to you.
- Why you love GSSEM.
