1 Patch Program instructions When you look at a Girl Scout, what do you see? Do you see a future leader? An activist? A scientist? Entrepreneur? Girl Scouts is developing future leaders by teaching girls essential life skills and invaluable lessons. Changing the world and making it a better place is exactly what Girl Scouts do. Girl Scouts is helping girls Discover who they are as leaders, Connect with their communities and the world around them, and Take Action to solve problems. By helping solve their communities homeless pet problem, advocating for change in their school or community, connecting with those around them, taking action to stand up for what they believe in, or becoming Entrepreneurs as they surpass their cookie sale goals, they are changing the world. Through Girl Scouts, girls are gaining essential life skills and working as a team to accomplish common goals and solve problems, while building the confidence they need to shine as girls, as young women and as leaders. FUN FACT: A recent study shows 80% of women business owners were once Girl Scouts. And you can bet that many of them started their business careers by participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program which lets girls master these 5 skills: Goal Setting, Decision making, Money Management, People Skills and Business Ethics. TAKE THE NEXT STEP BEYOND COOKIES: BossGIRL builds on the entrepreneurial spirit of the Cookie Program and lets each girl create her own business idea. She ll gain the knowledge and skills to plan her business, finance it and put it into action. From an idea to reality! Grades: 2 12 (Girl Scout Brownies Ambassadors) Cost of Program: $2 patch fee per participant By participating in the BossGIRL Patch Program Girl Scouts will: Discover what an entrepreneur is Brainstorm the perfect business idea Develop a business plan Develop their product Decide how much they want to sell their product for Pitch their idea to female entrepreneur mentors Sell it to make real money at the Youth Business Fair!

2 What girls will learn during BossGIRL: Goal Setting: o As an entrepreneur you need to examine your hobbies, interest and talents and design a business that fills a niche in your community. Decision Making Teaches risk taking. o To be an entrepreneur, you must be comfortable with taking action, even without having a clear idea of the outcome. o Strengthens critical thinking Money Management: o Teaches / reinforces money management and financial literacy skills: budgeting, money management, tracking expenses, determining profit People Skills: o Increases self confidence o Further develops leadership skills, self responsibility, and program solving skills Business Ethics: o Teaches girls to go through life and see voids, injustices or things that could be done better, they take responsibility to make changes. BossGIRL FAQs Who can participate in the BossGIRL Patch Program? Girls in grades 2 12 can participate in the BossGIRL Patch Program. They can participate as an individual or in a troop. Please follow the Badgerland guidelines for this specific patch program as outlined below. Expenses/Profit Who covers the Expenses? Who earns the Profit? Individual Girl Girl assumes all expenses for the program Girl earns all profit from the sale of the product Individual Girl backed by an investor Girl assumes a portion of the expenses and receives partial investment costs by their investor (troop) 50/50 split Girl and her investor split profit 50/50 from selling of product Troop Troop assumes all expenses for business Troop earns all profit from sale of product

3 Is the BossGIRL Patch Program considered a money earning activity? Participation in the BossGIRL Patch Program is not considered the same as participating in a money earning activity. Money earning activities are fund producing activities that troops can execute to earn the dollars necessary for their planned and scheduled Girl Scout activities. Money Earning Activities should be executed by girls with assistance and guidance, if necessary, from troop leaders. ( The goal of the BossGIRL Patch Program is to introduce girls to what an entrepreneur is and have them work through the process of developing a business idea and business plan, connect them with female entrepreneurs, have them pitch their business idea to an entrepreneur and finally experience talking to customers at our Youth Business Fair. The BossGIRL will assume all costs for their business and there is no guarantee they will make a profit from their business. Can you participate in the BossGIRL Patch Program even if you don t participate in both the Fall Product sale and the Cookie Sale? Yes, you can participate in the BossGIRL Patch Program even if you do not participate in both the Fall Product sale and Cookie sale. This is a patch program and any Girl Scout in grades 2 12 can participate in the program. How can we share our story and journey with other Girl Scouts? Share your entrepreneur journey with Badgerland by ing us your story/photos. You can send your story/photos to info@gsbadgerland.org, or use #BadgerlandBossGIRL. What types of activities will the girls be participating in and learning about? Lesson plans are designed to lead girls through the entire process of learning what an entrepreneur is, brainstorming possible business ideas and developing a business plan for their chosen business idea. The curriculum is progressive, building and incorporating hands on activities, videos and activity pages. Please follow the lesson plans in the order listed below. Lesson Plans: What is an Entrepreneur and what do they do? How does an Entrepreneur develop their business idea? Design Process and Brainstorming What s your passion? Brainstorming business ideas based on your hobbies/interests/talents Who is your audience and what is your niche? Social change for social good Do you incorporate it into your business?

4 Making it happen: Registering your business Pitching your idea: The basics of how to pitch your idea (Big Idea Pitch Party) Perfecting your business plan Marketing your product Time to sell! Where and When? Evaluating your success How will we learn about new lesson plans and resources added to the BossGIRL s website? BossGIRL updates and reminders will be ed out to ALL registered participants as curriculum is uploaded and new resources are discovered. If you, as a leader would like to get s to about the patch program and receive updates with your girls please info@gsbadgerland.org, and put BossGIRL Patch Program: Leader in the subject line. How much time will this program take? Designing a new business and becoming an Entrepreneur takes a lot of hard work, dedication and time. Each lesson plan should take no more than minutes. The Big Idea Pitch Party will take 2 3, hours and girls can leave once they have pitched their idea. The Youth Business Fair will run for 4 hours and require an hour for set up and tear down. The amount of time that a BossGIRL invests in her business is completely up to her. What if we cannot make the Big Idea Pitch Party or the Youth Business Fair? If a BossGIRL participant is not able to make a Big Idea Pitch Party or the Youth Business Fair, she will need to show that they accomplished that step in order to complete the Patch program. She can do this by completing the survey link associated with that lesson topic on the BossGIRL website. Can we sell our products outside of the Youth Business Fair? Talking to your customers, selling your product and getting their feedback is an important piece of the BossGIRL program. You are welcome to sell your product at local vendor fairs, famers markets, social functions, etc. Attendance at the Youth Business Fair is recommended, so you can meet other BossGIRL entrepreneurs like yourself. Selling online on an etsy store or similar is not allowed for this patch program. You can share your business through social media as long as sales do not occur online. When will we receive the BossGIRL Patch? Patches will be mailed out at the end of June once the BossGIRL Patch Program completion survey is completed.
