GSME Campfire Safety Patch
Campfires are a useful tool when camping and being in the outdoors.
Campfires are a great outdoor resource for heat, cooking, light,
sometimes even a beacon and have been known to enhance prosocial
behavior. Campfires are a lot of fun, but they can be dangerous too.
Learning how to have a safe campfire is an important part of being a
Girl Scout. Before you can cook over a campfire, you must learn campfire
safety. Learn how to be safe around them and build them safely with an
adult. See more

Treasure ME!
From its beaches, to potato fields, to the rocky coast and majestic mountains, Maine’s geography is as rich as it is diverse. Another Maine “treasure” is our Girl Scouts who, through their courage, confidence, and character, contribute so much to the quality of our lives. For these reasons and to encourage travel throughout the state, Girl Scouts of Maine is introducing the Treasure ME! Patch Program. Girls simply attend a council-sponsored program, a community partner event, or create their own experience whether it is one-of-a-kind, listed in multiple locations, or at one of our camps, and they will be eligible for the portion of the patch that represents that area of the state.
