Girl Scouts of the USA

National Public Lands Day provides an opportunity for Girl Scouts of all ages to improve America’s parks, forests and beaches.

Girl Scouts may participate as a troop, council or an individual. In 2012,  more than 240 Girl Scouts helped plan NPLD events and 635 events featured Girl Scouts volunteers.  

Girl Scouts participating in NPLD can:

• Work side by side with an environmental expert

• Enjoy a hands-on activity improving public lands or a Girl Scout camp while learning about nature

• Engage in long term service projects that benefit the community and observe how their actions benefit our planet
• Learn about environmental and outdoor careers
• Earn Girl Scout awards related to the environment
• Use the event to complete a Gold, Silver or Bronze award
• Be active outdoors and have fun!
