Celebrate Pride Month 2024
June 01, 2024
Throughout the month of June, we’re celebrating Pride Month by inviting our members to learn more about the rich and intersectional history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, interested, and asexual-plus (LGBTQIA+) community both nationally and locally. Girl Scouts of all levels can earn the Pride Month Fun Patch by participating in fun and engaging activities that honor the culture and contributions of the queer community. Check out the resources below to find opportunities for your Girl Scout to delve into LBGTQIA+ history, stories, trailblazers, and more! Plus, don’t forget to familiarize yourself with our gender inclusion practices.
What is Pride Month?
Pride Month is celebrated each June in the U.S., with parades and other celebrations taking place across the country to celebrate the contributions of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, interested, and asexual-plus (LGBTQIA+) community. This month-long celebration commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Riots, and recognizes the important contributions of the LGBTQIA+ folks while amplifying their voices and the issues that most deeply affect them. Join us in celebrating our LGBTQIA+ members, volunteers, Girl Scouts, and partners.
How do I earn the fun patch?
The Girl Scout Pride Month Celebration Fun Patch is designed for Girl Scouts of all levels and their leaders to honor LGBTQIA+ history, to celebrate the diverse cultures and identities of LGBTQIA+ people, and to acknowledge the many contributions these folks have made and continue to make across our nation. Girl Scouts and leaders have plenty of activities to choose from to earn this fun patch, and we encourage Girl Scouts of all identities to participate. Download the Pride Month Activity Sheet in English or Spanish to learn more.
