Pennsylvania's Girl Scouts can now earn a "Nursing Exploration" patch!

By completing a number activities, Junior, Cadette, and Senior Girl Scouts can increase their knowledge of the variety of career opportunities available in nursing and increase their awareness of the growing need for nurses.

The 13 Girl Scout Councils across Pennsylvania have received all that they need to encourage their troop leaders to work with the girls to complete the patch activities. Hospitals and health systems can assist by contacting their local Girl Scout Council to volunteer to help Girl Scouts complete the patch requirements.

This program is sponsored by HAP, Pennsylvania Department of Health, Pennsylvania State Nurses Association, and Pennsylvania Organization of Nurse Leaders. Select information used with permission from the North Carolina Center for Nursing.
