Here’s what Scout leaders have to say about earning
the ‘Heart for the Homeless' patch:
“My Brownie troop used two of our meetings to earn the patch. The girls loved the activities – musical chairs and “What Would You Take?”. I was even surprised that all 28 sat still to hear the book “Cooper’s Tale”! At the end of our session, we did a canned food drive and gave eight sacks of food to the Salvation Army. It was awesome!”

“I wanted to tell you that three teens from my troop did an overnight for Brownies to educate them about the children of homeless families. They used some of the exercises from your “Have a Heart for the Homeless” patch program. It was a great experience. All the girls including the teens learned a lot of homeless families and how to help.”

“I have been helping the girls in my Brownie troop to learn about what it means to be homeless and what they can do to make a difference. This project has been very enlightening for the girls and for me, and I hope I can continue to cultivate compassion and humanity in my girls through these types of programs. I know my girls will be proud to wear their “A Heart for the Homeless” patches.”
