DEA Red Ribbon Patch Program

The 2016 Red Ribbon Patch Program started on July 5, 2016 and ends on November 14, 2016.  Thank you to all of the past participants. Only the first qualifying 15,000 Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts will be awarded a patch!

The DEA Red Ribbon Patch Program is designed to provide Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts the opportunity to earn a patch from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) by performing anti-drug activities in celebration of Red Ribbon Week, October 23-31.

This initiative seeks to empower young people to create, embrace, and strengthen their drug free beliefs.
