Outdoor Experiences
Exploring nature and learning outdoor skills is vital to each Girl Scout's mental and spiritual development. Outdoor Patch Programs help introduce girls to exciting outdoors adventure!
The Girl Scout Tree Promise
Protect the planet from the effects of climate change.
All over the world, deforestation and climate change are damaging the planet. Trees help cool communities, reducing the heat island effect created by buildings, machines, and pavement. They also provide habitat for wildlife, create shade on hot summer days, clean water, and remove asthma-causing air pollution.
Join Girl Scouts to make the world a better place as we plant, protect, and honor trees with the Girl Scout Tree Promise. Learn how to solve community problems and use team-building skills to sow seeds of change with family and friends today!

Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Challenge
You don’t need access to a national park or the woods to enjoy the
outdoors! So put yourself out there with us and participate in our
Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors Challenge.
Spending at
least 120 minutes a week in nature is associated with improved mood,
focus, and confidence—whether you spend that time becoming a rockstar
at rock climbing, making a splash in the puddles around your
neighborhood, or watching wandering wildlife at a park.

activities to see what’s possible right outside your own front door today!
