Tips for Going to the Park - by Logan

  Logan and her mom have been participating in a series of park clean ups this spring.  Based on what they have found, Logan has put together some tips that you should follow when you are visiting your local parks.  Following these tips will help everyone enjoy themselves while keeping the parks clean.

Logan's Tips:

  1.  On a picnic, bring Tupperware, not one-use plastic.
  2.  Pick up your dog's poop.
  3.  Bring a reusable water bottle.
  4.  If you do bring plastic, bring a trash bag with you.
  5.  Always bring reusable straws, spoons, forks, knives, and cups.
Cleaning up before you leave the park helps protect the local wildlife and also ensures that the next visitors find a clean space to enjoy.

A Girl Scout always leaves a place better than she found it!


The Junior Girl Scouts in Troop 548 are completing their Bronze award project, which is focused on reducing waste in common spaces.

Junior Journey in a Day: Agent of Change

As many troops are moving to online meetings, it may be fun to attempt a journey.  Last fall, I hosted a Journey in a Day for Juniors to complete the Agent of Change journey in one day-long retreat.  The event was held in a library so we were able to research female change agents in the children's biography section... but girls could research via the internet (maybe watch YouTube videos) in place of that... Leaders, take a look at my plan and feel free to make it your own!
