To prepare them for the inevitable challenges
which lie ahead, there is an urgent need to educate
young people about the environment. Reaching youth
through formal education systems is one alternative.
Environmentally educating them through non-formal,
youth agency settings is another. This project has
taken the latter approach.
"A Trainer's Guide to Environmental Education
and the Girl Scout Program" was developed as a resource
to increase the emphasis placed on environmental education
within the Girl Scout Organization. There is
potential for environmentally educating 2.3 million
youth as a result of the training initiative.
