Silver Award Girl Scout, Lila
After observing that kids spend excessive time indoors and on electronics, Lila noticed that many local youth lack the necessary skills to participate in outdoor activities safely. She came up with a solution for her Silver Award project, aiming to empower youth, ages 5-17, and their families, by offering skills stations where they could learn essential outdoor skills, including First Aid, campfire safety, knot tying, navigation, Leave No Trace principles, and more. Throughout the process, Lila gained valuable leadership, organizational, and teamwork skills and equipped local youth with critical skills while deepening their connection to the outdoors that will last a lifetime.
