New this year, our April Showers patch will be free for all members who participate in the campaign. Troops will make note of how many patches they need on either their Showering the Community Collection survey or the April Showers Participation Form.
April Showers is about giving back to those in need
That’s a wrap! April Showers has come to a close for 2024. Thank you to everyone who supported our Girl Scouts as they worked together to help those in need by collecting personal care items through April Showers. With your help, we were able to support hundreds of agencies throughout eastern Missouri!

April Showers Incentives
New this year, troops that participate in April Showers will have a chance to earn a special incentive! Operation Food Search is offering some behind-the-scenes tours for troops who participate in this year's campaign.
- Troops must complete their collection day report and submit to their neighborhood coordinator to be eligible.
- Troops will be selected by random, having at least one troop per district and two for our larger membership areas.
- Tours are scheduled for June 25, Sept. 24 and Oct. 1 at 7 pm. If troops cannot make the tour because of distance, a special troop celebration package will be mailed.
