Water Drop Patch Project.
The Water Drop Patch Project, developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in partnership with the Girl Scouts of the USA, offers Brownies, Juniors, and Girl Scouts 11-17 hands-on activities focusing on watershed management and natural resource conservation. Once Girl Scouts complete the requisite activities, they can purchase the Water Drop Patch from the Girl Scout Council of Mount Magazine Shop.
The purpose of the project is to encourage girls to:
- Make a difference in their communities by becoming watershed and wetlands stewards
- Use their skills and their knowledge to educate others in their communities about the need to protect the nation's valuable water resources
- Explore the natural world to gain an interest in science and math
An electronic copy of the project booklet can be downloaded on the Linking Girls to the Land Web Site at: www.epa.gov/adopt/patch/.
Copies of the booklet are also available for FREE by calling the National Service Center for Environmental Publications at 1-800-490-9198.
