	Breast Cancer Awareness Patch () All women are at risk for breast cancer.  It now causes more deaths among women than any other form of cancer except lung cancer.  Many breast cancers may be curable if they are found early.  Since we don’t know what causes breast cancer or how to prevent it, the best protection is to detect it as early as possible.  The earlier young women learn to perform breast self examinations and about healthy lifestyles, the more likely it is that they will be able to detect changes in their breasts and seek medical attention.  As Girl Scout troops work on the patch, they will help educate their friends and family members.
	Me & My V.I.P () The purpose of this patch is to stimulate family interest in and knowledge of the Girl Scout program. It is designed to increase their understanding of the way girls can benefit from Girl Scout experiences. Families come in different sizes and forms. “Family” most often refers to close relation such as mother, father, sister, brother. However, this term also refers to other important people in a person’s life. Great grandparents, grandparents, step-parents, foster parents, guardians, aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends may be a part of the family. For purpose of this patch program, family members may include any significant individual in Girl Scouts life.
