Fun Patch Program Snapshots
Physical Therapy Fun Patch Program
Developed while a student, Jazmine Tooles, PT, DPT, created these patch programs to teach Girl Scouts about healthy living through exercise while allowing them to investigate professions that utilize exercise for healing such as Physical Therapy. They were created in 2012 and approved by GSUSA as Council Badges from 2013 until 2018. No longer council badges, they are offered as Fun Patches Girl Scouts can purchase and wear on the back of their vest.
Dr. Tooles is a lifetime Girl Scout who earned her Bronze, Silver and Gold Award. In 2007, she was a Girl Scout of Distinction for Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey and in 2018 was a panelist for their Young Women of Vision Leadership breakfast. In 2020, Dr. Tooles received Girl Scouts of Jersey Shore Good Neighbor Community Award.
