At Kindred Sparks, we believe every spark begins a story.
I’m Laura, a mom and troop leader who fell in love with Scouts because of the way it shapes kids’ lives. It’s not just about earning badges; it’s about learning courage, kindness, teamwork, and creating memories they’ll carry forever. Being part of that journey with them has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
Kindred Sparks grew out of that love. I wanted patches to be more than souvenirs tucked away and forgotten. To me, each one should feel like a little time capsule, something that holds the memory of a special moment, whether it was an event, an activity, or a proud accomplishment. When kids look back at their patches years from now, I hope they’re reminded not just of what they did but of how it felt to be there.
I also dreamed of patches that could inspire the adventure itself. Each design gives leaders a spark, a ready idea for a troop meeting, an outing, or a project that becomes its own story. Some patches are created to inspire stand-alone meets, while others complement official scout badges, capturing the memory of how that badge was earned. Official patches recognize achievement. Kindred Sparks patches celebrate both the achievement and the memory of the journey. Our patches don’t just celebrate memories, they spark them.
Kindred Sparks is about more than embroidered fabric. It’s about:
-
Togetherness: celebrating the magic of community, friendship, and shared adventures.
-
Memories and Creativity: sparking imaginations and holding onto the moments that matter through meaningful designs, activities, and resources.
-
Courage and Kindness: reminding kids (and grown-ups) that small acts can light up the world.
Every patch we design comes with intention, often paired with activities and tools to help leaders create meaningful experiences without the overwhelm. Our mission isn’t to build a collection. It’s to help families and troops collect stories.
So whether you’re a troop leader planning your next adventure, a parent marking milestones, or a scout eager to show off your achievements, welcome. You’re part of our Kindred Sparks family now.
Because every spark is worth remembering.
Because every spark begins a story.
