Girl Scouts Forever Green Community Action Project
Girl Scouts Forever Green Community Action Project engages, educates, and empowers girls to take the lead in developing and implementing sustainable initiatives to decrease the environmental footprints of their schools and communities.
Because of the work of Girl Scout Junior Troop 3377's 2008/2009 Community Action Project, the National Wildlife Federation recognized Churchill Road Elementary School in McLean, VA as a Certified Wildlife Habitat.
Girl Scouts Forever Green began in 2008 as troop projects only, but has expanded during this second year to encompass many green initiatives. For more information on specific parts of Girl Scouts Forever Green, please choose one of the following:
