Teach the community about recycling by hosting a workshop where scouts can demonstrate practical ways to reduce waste. This one is close to my heart as it combines education with action. You can even incorporate DIY Girl Scout SWAPS to make the event more engaging.

Work on a habitat restoration project, such as planting native species in a park. It’s a wonderful hands-on learning experience that benefits both the scouts and the environment. You can also commemorate your hard work by making simple Girl Scout SWAPs to trade with your troop.
