Take Action Projects
Girl Scouts make the world a better place by completing Take Action projects to earn their Journey, Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards. Here is a sampling of the ways Acton Boxborough Girl Scouts have addressed problems in our community by educating others about the problem and inspiring them to make a change, as well as by impacting policies.
Gold Award project by Supria from Troop 85221. Supria created a book full of resources and sensory activities for children with special needs, to help them stay in touch with their sensory development and deal with the disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Silver Award project by Anya from Troop 72001. Anya created descriptive trail guides with natural features, descriptions, images, and maps of all conservation properties in Boxborough. Click on the individual property names for links to each pdf brochure.
Bronze Award project by Troop 62496. This history scavenger hunt around West Acton is done “escape room style” from your smartphone via a Google Form (answer a question right to get the information for the next location) and is designed for elementary aged kids and their families.
Take Action project by Troop 62918 for their Outdoor Journey. "Protecting baby wild animals is a topic that should be discussed but isn't enough. The Girl Scouts are calling attention to this problem in hopes of saving the animals."
Love Our Earth
Take Action project by Troop 62918 for their Brownie Quest Journey. The girls gave a presentation about why people should protect nature, and then led three activity stations: Nature Detective scavenger hunt, nature-inspired water color painting, and Letterboxing.
