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. This is the nineth year that NPLD has collaborated with the Girl Scouts of the USA. In 2011, 2,120 Girl Scouts from 117 troops volunteered at parks throughout the country.

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!
