 SERVICE PROJECT 2005 - 2006
Building A Legacy
It’s Not Easy
Being Green!
What is this program?
Each year, Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay selects an issue of
particular importance to our girls as the focus of a council-wide
service project. Our focus for the 2005-2006 program year is how we
impact the environment we live, work and play in. Each year the
project has three main components:
1. Education – for the girls, their families and the community.
2. Service – to others in the community.
3. Visibility – for Girl Scouts’ commitment to important issues.
Why the environment?
As many of you know Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay is in the
midst of a capital campaign in which we plan to develop our four
camp properties. Each camp has its own unique environment and we
want to be good stewards and preserve them for future generations.
Maintaining a delicate balance of diverse environments requires
constant careful stewardship; and learning about these environments
will help girls and adults to become better stewards of natural
resources. In all aspects of this capital campaign we at Girl Scouts
of the Chesapeake Bay believe that every one should be concerned
about land use, development and environmental issues. This project
addresses several quality of life concerns: air, water, land,
wildlife habitat, and green construction. Participation in this
service project will teach girls how they may have a direct impact
on the quality of our environment.
How do we
participate?
The core of this project is the “Building a Legacy” patch program.
To participate, please use the girl event registration form to sign
up and to order your patches. Deadline to register will be February
18, 2006, and patches will be mailed to troops in mid-April, 2006.
What about other
related programs, like Girl Scouts Walk Softly, Follow the Flow-H2O,
and Girl
 Scouts
Breaking Ground?
There are several related programs that will enhance your group’s
experience, should you elect to use them. They are all fun and
educational. Troops, Service Units and individual girls may
participate in as many or few as they wish. There is no minimum
requirement of related or supplemental programs you must attend.
Levels: Appropriate for all age level Girl Scouts.
Requirements: Complete at least one activity from each
category, air, water, land, wildlife, and green construction.
