Summarize this article:

Taking part in service projects will help you make a difference in your community while having the opportunity to earn cool patches. Your troop can volunteer somewhere, take food or supplies where it's needed, or just visit people who are lonely as ways of helping out. If you see a need in your area, bring it up to your troop leader and ask if your troop can help. Encourage your troop to volunteer at a community vegetable garden to help beautify your city while providing food to people in need. Plus, you'll be eligible for the Community Garden patch! Help your Girl Scout troop organize a pet supply drive to help nearby animal shelters, and you'll get the Pet Supply Drive patch. If your troop leader suggests a science experiment, it could be a fun way to get hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) experience while earning unique patches. Patches for science experiments include Paper Airplanes, Designing Roller Coasters, Egg Drop, and Digging for Rocks. Getting outdoors is a great way to be active while learning about natural science, plus it's a lot of fun! You can earn patches for everything from a nature walk to an overnight camping trip! Collect various leaves to earn the Spring/Summer Leaves patch. Gather and paint rocks for the Rock Painting and Hiding patch. Camp in the woods for the first time to get the 1st Campout patch! Girl Scout parties are a great way to spend time with your friends while bonding as a troop. Your troop leader might even have fun patches for everyone who attends the party! Pool parties are the perfect way to cool off on a hot day while earning the Pool Party patch. See if you can get a strike while you're earning the Bowling Party patch! You'll need a pillow and a sleeping bag to earn the Sleepover Patch! Craft projects help you express your creativity while you learn more about art, and they're always a fun way for your Girl Scout troop to spend time together. Make a plain T-shirt into a colorful work of art while you earn the Tie Dye patch. Get ready to decorate for the holidays as you earn the Make Ornaments patch! Learn the traditional art of weaving to earn the Weave Baskets patch. Girl Scouts are most known for their cookie fundraisers, but there are actually a number of different events you can join in to earn patches. Wake up early and attend a breakfast fundraiser to get the Pancake Breakfast patch. Raise money washing cars to get the Car Wash patch. Join your friends selling cookies outside of a business to get the Cookie Booth patch. Some fun patches aren't for attending events, but for meeting certain accomplishments, such as having perfect attendance at meetings. Other accomplishment-based patches include bringing a friend to meetings, always being on time, and getting good grades in school.
