Patch Programs

Most GS Councils around the country have what are called "Council's Own" patch programs. They're typically related to something unique or interesting about their local area. Anyone is eligible to complete the requirements and order the patches. It can be a nice alternative to the try-its and badges available in the standard program level books.

Someone put together the attached spreadsheet that has links to many, if not all, of the patch programs from Councils around the country. (Some of the links appear to be broken, as they were collected over a year ago, but many are good.)

You can also just google "[interest or activity] patch program requirements" and chances are good that you will find something interesting, either through a GS Council or through an outside organization such as Dove, DARE, My New Red Shoes, and so on.
