The council patch program is designed for Girl Scouts to earn patches by exploring a wide variety of topics. Each patch requires Girl Scouts to complete an age appropriate number of activities in the categories of Discover, Connect, and Take Action, which are the three keys to leadership central to all Girl Scout experiences. Suggested activities for earning the Black History patch include doing research to learn facts about important African Americans who had an impact on the history of both the United States and North Carolina, reaching out to local NAACP chapters, visiting a North Carolina African American cultural site, and connecting with fellow Girl Scouts in African countries.
