We're not at Sand Creek tomorrow with eighty Girl Scouts because there's a chance of rain. They cancelled. I honestly haven't watched the weather so I really don't know how big the chance is but I had to laugh when I googled "Girl Scouts" and found out . . .
From the backyard to the back country, Girl Scouts has a long and
storied history of getting every girl outdoors. In fact, many
Girl Scouts tell us “camping trips” are one of the best things about
their Girl Scout experience. It’s true: connecting with the great
outdoors in a girl-led setting is a big benefit of belonging to Girl Scouts.
Studies show that girls today are not spending nearly enough time
outdoors. Technology and structured activities leave less time for
girls to get outside and enjoy nature. But as a Girl Scout, she’ll
have plenty of opportunities to create her own outdoor adventures and
develop a lifelong appreciation for nature and the
out-of-doors—whether with her troop, at camp, or with friends and family.
And that’s great news—because when Girl Scouts get outside, they:
- Discover that they can better solve problems and overcome challenges
- Develop leadership skills, build social bonds, and are happier overall
- Become team players and care more about protecting our environment
When girls spend quality time outdoors and increase their exposure
to nature, they thrive physically, emotionally, and intellectually.
But not at Sand Creek and not tomorrow . . .
