If your Daisy Girl Scouts are working on Between Earth and Sky, join

quality and how what we choose to eat can be environmentally friendly
or not-so-friendly food. We will compare conventional to organic foods
and try to match pictures of food with where it came from.
For Brownie Girl Scouts working on Wonders of Water, Girl Scouts
will learn about the types of meat we eat and how those meats affect
our water systems and how we can work together to protect our waters.
We will create posters that can be displayed in Natural Grocers for
our customers to learn more about how they can help too!
