Patch Project Requirements

Discovering Art

The National Museum of Women in the Arts has developed a patch project for Girl Scouts. The booklet is available for sale at the Service Center . The Museum strongly recommends that each girl in the troop have their own copy of the Discovering Art book. It can be used as a reference throughout her life. There is also a printout of Troop Activities given free with Discovering Art, not printed here at this time. These are the patch criteria suggestions that go with the girl booklet.
