  4. Protect or promote the environment in one way (interview parks and rec department about possible TAP projects your troop can do, work with a community group to create a project that beautifies the environment, OR do a concrete act of kindness each day for one week to leave the “human” environment around you better).
  5. Celebrate Girl Scout Traditions in one way (research biographies of three famous Girl Scouts, talk to alumnae AND take one action to help introduce new members to GSUSA, OR watch the Golden Eaglet AND make a three-minute film or slideshow to share your ideas about why Girl Scout traditions are important).
