The thing I received from Girl Scouts more than anything else was a sense of real teamwork and working for the community, helping others, and it was not competitive. I remember working as a group to achieve a goal or to help the community. There was a great sense of accomplishment in that.”

Girls will earn the Energize award component from the It’s Your Planet—Love It journey.

Have you ever dreamed of building a robot? Do you like working on computers? Well, this is your chance to do it at camp! You will learn to build and program a LEGO robot using computers.

You will earn the Energize Award component from the It’s Your Planet–Love It journey.
