Drug Patch Requirements By Age Level
Substance abuse prevention can start right here for today’s youth. Educators, community leaders, and service group volunteers are a positive and powerful influence in the lives of young people in schools, sports teams and Boy/Girl Scouts.
It’s all our responsibility to communicate the importance of avoiding drugs and alcohol, or how to handle a problem situation with one of your peers. When it comes to drug and alcohol use by teens, the first step is to learn as much as you can in a non-threatening environment.
This Boy/Girl Scout patch program has been designed so Boys/Girls can learn about the dangers of drug use, background information about specific drugs, approaches for both prevention and problem situations, and how to find resources in your community.
Any Boy/Girl who completes the specific age-related requirements can earn the patch.*
