My gold award

Going outside, camping, and spending time in nature helps us be better advocates for the environment. I hope to help foster a love for the outdoors in younger girls. With my Gold Award, everyone would reassess their outdoor presence and continue to sustainably take part in our world’s environment. In their love for the outdoors, generations of girls will share in joyous experiences, become more aware of sustainable practices in their day-to-day lives, and engage in environmental issues. With this website, we can continue to build our love for Mother Earth.
