National Park Week

This month, girls have the perfect opportunity to jump-start their spring through National Park Week. Running through April 23, the celebration allows free access to national parks across the country during the weekend of April 22–23 (including on Earth Day!). What better chance for girls to discover all the wonders of the natural world in a fun, healthy way? Visiting girls can also work toward their Outdoor badges and patches and start thinking about the other ways they want to get outdoors this season, whether it’s through camp or using suggestions from the Play in the Park: The Girl Scout Ranger Program guide.
 
Share your outdoor stories on social media—include @girlscouts and @NatlParkService, and use the hashtags #FindYourPark, #NPS101, and #gsoutdoors.
