The Girl Scouts Get Moving! program is all about helping girls learn what they can do to protect the planet for themselves and future generations.
That mission aligns well with the ATL sector, and Statewide Director Jannet Malig was pleased to learn recently that one of the sector’s resources was used by a Junior scout troop working on the Get Moving! Project.
Scout leader LouAnne Taylor emailed Malig to say that the sector’s Green Academy Links website, which includes information about wind energy and green careers, was extremely helpful as the girls were working on earning their badges.
“Since going remote, we’re always looking for online material for the girls to use while working towards earning their badges,” Taylor wrote. “While doing some research on renewable energy, we discovered your wonderful page and have been using it as a resource ever since.”
Taylor suggested another site, All About Renewable Energy for Kids, that might serve as a complementary resource for younger students. Her Junior scouts found the website while doing research for the same projects that led them to the ATL sector.
“It’s gratifying to hear that our efforts to bring up-to-date training materials and resources to educators also reaches and impacts our youth,” Malig said. “We are happy to add the suggested renewable energy site as a complement to our resource page.”
