Beachcomber

California’s coastline harbors some of the richest diversity in North America. Tide pools, coastal dune habitat, and beaches are heavily impacted by continual recreational use, development, contamination of the watersheds, and more. As stewards of our land, it’s up to us to help preserve them!

This patch program has been designed to educate the participants about exploring and discovering our local beaches and seashores to uncover some of the secrets of these unique and diverse habitats.

Walk This Way

This patch program provides girls, troops and families a fun and interesting way to engage in the health benefits of an active lifestyle. Walking is the simplest form of exercise and it is right at our feet! “Walk this Way” and join other girls, troops and families as they virtually walk from the Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast (GSCCC) headquarters in Ventura to the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia.
