Get ready to Explore Big and Hop Bold this fall with an exciting
virtual journey into the world of the red kangaroo! In this free patch
program, Girl Scouts will discover how these incredible animals thrive
in the Australian outback. Through engaging lessons and activities,
girls will explore kangaroo habitats, learn about their unique
adaptations, and even dive into how humans can help protect wildlife
around the world.
Along the way, participants will enjoy
hands-on crafts, fun "swap"-style creations, and engaging
animal science lessons designed to spark curiosity and creativity.
Whether hopping into action solo or with a troop, this program is a
perfect way to connect learning with the fall product season
theme.
This is one half of the Explore Big & Hop Bold patch
set! Be sure to also join our lop-eared rabbit program, November
11/15/26 - 1/4/27-these two patches are specially designed to be worn
together for a complete set celebrating exploration across habitats
and species.
