Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois' Outdoor Patch Programs help introduce girls to exciting outdoors adventure!

The Girl Scout Tree Promise
Thanks for making the Girl Scout Tree Promise!
Join our mission to protect the planet from the
effects of climate change.
In partnership with the Elliott Wildlife Values Project, American Forests, and Johnson & Johnson Foundation, Girl Scouts are launching a bold tree planting and conservation initiative. Girl Scouts across the country are setting out to plant five million trees in five years, and to protect and honor new and existing trees. Not only is this great for wildlife, it will also help ease the effects of climate change. Girl Scouts have planted thousands of trees in all 50 states and globally. Let’s keep going!
