Earning the “Diverse. Inclusive. Together.” patch

Submitted by Emma Metro Denver Highlands Ranch Hello. My name is Emma, and I am a Girl Scout Junior from Troop 65430. I worked on the “Diverse. Inclusive. Together.” patch with my family.

To me, the big picture is that we are all different. Whether people
