Join us for the Girl Scout Read and Roam Patch Program, running
alongside the Southern Illinois Library Crawl 2025 throughout the
entire month of October! This exciting event invites Girl Scouts to
discover the magic of libraries while earning a special Reading Patch.
There is no cost to participate in this program.
How It
Works:
Visit participating libraries across Southern Illinois as
part of the annual Library Crawl.
Explore library resources,
participate in activities, and discover the benefits of a library
card.
Read a select number of books or pages (requirements vary
by age level) to complete the challenge.
Track your progress and
earn your Girl Scout Read and Roam fun patch!
This is a
fantastic opportunity for Girl Scouts to develop a love for
reading, explore new libraries, and engage with their communities. Go
to any library on the list, pick up a great book, and start your
reading adventure! All Girl Scout levels are welcome, from Daisies to
Ambassadors! There is no cost to participate in this patch program.
Girl Scouts must visit participating libraries across Southern
Illinois. A list of libraries and details on how to log your reading
will be provided with registration. Read and Roam fun patch is
pre-order only! Order your fun patch from our Council Shop by November
10, 2025. Each local library participates independently in the
Southern Illinois Library Crawl.

You do not need a library card to participate in the Southern Illinois
Library Crawl. Don't forget to preorder your Girl Scouts of Southern
Illinois Read and Roam fun patch by November 10, 2025. During the
entire month of October 2025 visit as many libraries as you can and
get reading! Let's turn the pages of adventure together!
