Holiday – Rare Disease Day

Have you heard about Rare Disease Day on Feb. 28th?

Patches

There aren’t any specific badges about Rare Disease Day. Many councils have patches about different diseases and conditions, and while most are not rare, many scouts have not learned about them. Pick a disease to focus on and bring more awareness to your scouts!

Other Ways to Celebrate
