Community and Patch Programs

Community and Patch program providers are local organizations approved by Girl Scouts of Central Indiana to offer events and activities based on the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

Art and Drama: Annie
All
CYT is proud to tell the story of little orphan Annie, who charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. She is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of a New York City Orphanage that is run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations... and even befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt! She finds a new home and family in billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. With Tony-Award winning songs such as “Tomorrow,” Annie is the perfect family-friendly musical.

Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget.

Snapology
At Snapology we believe that children are meant to learn through play. When children are engaged in interactive, hands-on learning activities, their creativity flourishes and they show an increased interest in school. We help your child grow up with a thirst for knowledge. How do we do it? Snapology engages children ages 1-14 using LEGO® bricks, K’Nex and technology. While the kids are having fun with familiar toys, laptops and iPads, we sneak in the learning. Shh, don't tell them it's educational!
Snapology is the premier partner for STEAM programs with the Girl Scouts. We have pre-planned classes at local libraries – just sign up on our website, Indywest.Snapology.com and click on “Schedule”.
