 Lasagna Love is proud to announce its partnership with the Girl Scouts, introducing an exciting patch program tailored to inspire young minds while making a tangible impact in communities. Through this initiative, local Girl Scout troops have the opportunity to earn an exclusive Lasagna Love Patch!

This innovative program isn’t just about earning a patch—it’s about fostering empathy, understanding, and proactive engagement. Girl Scouts will delve into the diverse challenges individuals face today, grasp the importance of extending a helping hand, and explore innovative ways to affect positive change in their neighborhoods. In short, Girl Scouts will engage in meaningful activities that resonate with our core values at Lasagna Love.

This program is crafted with the aim of not only addressing community needs but also instilling lifelong lessons. By participating, troops contribute to addressing local waitlists, facilitating the preparation and delivery of multiple meals while learning invaluable skills and fostering a spirit of altruism.

Below, you’ll find step-by-step instructions outlining how troops can complete the patch requirements. Join us in empowering the next generation of compassionate leaders and expanding our network of dedicated volunteers. Together, we can make a difference, one lasagna at a time.

Cost: The cost is determined by the ingredients purchased. These ingredients can be bought with the troop’s funds. The cost per girl or per troop for a few meals can be reduced through donations or what we call the "pop the lid campaign” ingredient drive. The troop can ask for non-perishable ingredients, such as sauce, pans, and noodles, to be donated. *Girls will need hair nets and gloves.  

Leaders: An adult 18 years of age or older needs to sign up at lasagnalove.org/volunteer to be matched with requesters on our portal.  Once done, the troop can easily donate meals to food banks and first responders/hospitals, etc.

For safety purposes, there is a training video at the volunteer sign-up.

Book Drive with Reach Out and Read Colorado

An important factor in early learning and brain development is reading and bonding with a child. Reach Out and Read Colorado partners with healthcare providers across the state to encourage families with young children to read aloud together, building the groundwork for growth.

Partner healthcare clinics receive books, training, and support from Reach Out and Read Colorado. The providers across the state also have been trained to use books as an exam room diagnostic tool to discuss early literacy with parents and evaluate child development.

Girl Scouts of Colorado and Reach Out and Colorado are challenging Girl Scouts, troops, or service units to host book drives so we can get books into the hands of healthcare providers and then into the hands of families. So, clean out those bookshelves and donate to Reach Out and Read Colorado! The guidelines for a book drive are here. Gently used or new books appropriate for up to age 18 reading are accepted.

Reach Out and Read Colorado patches are available at the Girl Scout Shop.

The progressive Girl Scout Recruiter Patch Program is for Girl Scouts of all levels that are out in their community sharing with others what Girl Scouts is all about!

  • Be an Influencer by honing your public speaking skills and raising awareness.
  • A Star Recruiter takes actions and spreads the word about local recruitment activities.
  • Become an Expert Recruiter by hosting an event or helping launch a new troop.
  • A Captain takes what they have learned to train and support other recruiters!
