Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey is proud to partner with Gray Panthers NYC to bring the Age and Youth in Action Patch to our council. Originally launched with Girl Scouts of Greater New York, this first-of-its-kind initiative empowers Girl Scouts to build meaningful relationships with older adults while exploring the power of intergenerational advocacy and community action.
Created by Gray Panthers NYC intern Isabel Postelnek, the program invites Girl Scouts to connect with older adults, learn about the inspiring legacy of Gray Panthers founder Maggie Kuhn, and participate in workshops, service projects, and events that foster empathy, respect, and active citizenship.
At its heart, the Age and Youth in Action Patch encourages Girl Scouts to see aging not as a barrier, but as a shared journey of learning, leadership, and advocacy-proving that every generation has something valuable to teach and learn.
This two-part program series will take place on Sundays, November 1st and 8th, from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM. Session 1 on November 1st will be virtual and the zoom link will be sent after registration closes. Session 2 on November 8th will be held at the Girl Scout Leadership Center in Newark. Participants are encouraged to attend both sessions to fully engage with the program and earn their Gray Panthers patch.
Girl Scouts must register for this program or event. All Girl Scout participants must be chaperoned at this program or event by their Troop Leaders or by a guardian.
