The Water Drop Patch Project inspires Girl Scouts to learn about water quality and to take action in their communities to protect and restore local water resources, including their local rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands and ground water. The project supports the Girl Scout Leadership Development Program by promoting the following goals for girls:
- Discover-- Explore the natural world to learn about watersheds and water pollution
- Connect-- Use their skills and their knowledge to work with others to educate their communities about the need to protect the nation's valuable water resources
- Take Action-- Make a difference in their communities by becoming watershed and wetlands stewards
Water Drop Patch Project Manual (70pp., 6.26 MB, About PDF)
This manual is designed for adult facilitator's use with Girl Scouts and Brownies through Ambassadors (grades 2-12) and is divided into grade-level, age-appropriate activities. This is nationally recognized as part of Girl Scouts of the USA's Linking Girls to the Land (LGTTL) Program. LGTTL is a national interagency partnership between Girl Scouts of the USA's Elliott Wildlife Values Project and federal natural resource conservation agencies, initiatives and partner organizations. Each year LGTTL encourages more than 35,000 Girl Scouts to work with federal and state conservation agencies to become leaders of national and local projects focused on environmental education, outdoor skills, community service, careers, and more. The LGTTL partnership offers travel opportunities, funding, awards and training to support this vision. Visit the LGTTL Web site at epa.gov/linkinggirls to learn more. Adults should consult with Safety-Wise to ensure Girl Scout safety guidelines are followed when working with girls.
