Linking Girls to the Land is a partnership between Girl Scouts of the USA and federal natural resources conservation agencies.  This initiative encourages girls to become involvedin conservation and natural resource issues on a national and local level through: environmental  education, volunteer service, outdoor skills development and career awareness. Your troop or group can work on two patches associated with this initiative.

Get with the Land Patch- By earning this patch girls will learn about the Linking Girls to the Land partnership, work side by side with a federal or state natural resource agency professional and choose and environmental project or activity in which to participate or complete.  Order and earn the patch at www.epa.gov/linkinggirls.
