Girl Scout councils across America are offering the Sun Safety Patch to scouts of all ages. Now in 28 states, young scouts are learning the importance of sun safety and skin cancer prevention. Additionally, scouts are building self-esteem and realizing that they can be comfortable in their own, perfect skin.  There are three versions of the curriculum, designed specifically for Daisies/Brownies, Juniors/Cadettes, and Seniors/Ambassadors. While the curriculum and patch designs are free to councils, the individual councils are responsible for ordering patches from an approved vendor and providing them to their scouts upon completion of the patch program.

This program is also available to councils interested in offering sun safety education in a camp setting. Scouts may participate in age-appropriate group activities as they learn about sun safety and skin cancer prevention.

Note: Councils may elect to purchase ultraviolet-sensitive wristbands (that turn color when exposed to sunlight) from Outrun the Sun to enhance their sun safety programming.
