Registration will close on August 1, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. School is out and it's time to dive into the Summer Reading Challenge! Girl Scouts of all levels are invited to accept the challenge and read with us! Participants will read at their own pace and complete a summer-themed reading tracker along the way. Whether you love graphic novels, chapter books, audiobooks, or reading aloud with family, this challenge is designed to be flexible, inclusive, and fun. To earn the patch, participants must choose at least 1 book from our reading list, read for 20 total hours throughout the challenge, and submit the Reading Reflection Log. On June 1, registered participants will receive the reading list, tracker, and reading log instructions via email. Participants who register after March 1 will receive their materials via confirmation email. Patches will not be sent unless Reading Reflection Log is submitted! Patches will be mailed at the close of the program. A patch will be provided for registered youth participants who complete a reading log. Visit our Council Shop for more Girl Scout swag. Financial Assistance may be available for this program. Details for how to apply can be found in the registration forms as you complete your registration.
