EARTH DAY
There’s no limit to what you can do to celebrate Earth Day, but the key is to get outside and enjoy everything that Mother Nature has to offer! Check out these programs and ways to get outdoors on April 22:Outdoor Art Badge Day at Camp Skymeadow. Girl Scouts of all ages can complete the new Girls’ Choice Outdoor Art Badge with a day of fun art projects to display outdoors, and made using natural materials. An all-day session is being offered for Brownies-Ambassadors, and short (morning or afternoon) sessions are available for Daisies. Can’t make it on April 22? We’re hosting a second Outdoor Art Badge Day at Camp Hawthorne Ridge on May 13! Learn more and register.

Comcast Cares Day. Comcast is hosting several community
service projects on April 22 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and Girl Scouts are invited to

a great way to give back. Girls must attend with a parent or troop leader and
let the site leader know you are part of Girl Scouts. Here are some specific
sites in our area that involve painting, landscaping, and general cleanup:
- Bethel Park Historical Society, 2600 South Park Road, Bethel Park
- Clairton Elementary School, 501 Waddell Ave, Clairton
- Washington Area Humane Society, 1527 PA-136, Eighty-Four
- ABS Athletic Field (Avonmore Boro), 6th St. Ext., Avonmore
