Patch Program

Keep Texas Beautiful's Youth Patch Program was launched and supported by the Honorable Ruthe Jackson, a founding member of KTB and councilwoman in Grand Prairie. For years Ms. Jackson fulfilled patch orders out of her home. Eventually, the state office took over the ordering and inventory duties, but through the years the program fell by the wayside.

At Ms. Jackson's urging, the Youth Committee revived the program. The committee redesigned and reordered patches, and Ms. Jackson paid for the initial inventory. She requested that KTB charge a fee for the patches in the future, so that KTB could maintain an inventory for years to come.

We are proud to offer these patches to you. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire youth or other youth group members may earn patches by participating in various events.

Keep Texas Beautiful patches are earned by participation in a pro-environment or cleanup activity.

Texas Recycles Day, Don't Mess with Texas Trash-Off, Great American Cleanup, or Texas Waterway Cleanup Program patches are earned by participation in the respective cleanup activity.
