Water Drop Patch
For Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts and Girl Scouts 11-17

This project was jointly developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital (GSCNC). 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 community about the need to protect the nation's valuable water resources.
• Explore the natural world to gain an interest in science and math.
• Use the Internet as a source of information.

Troop leaders should consult with Safety-Wise before conducting any of these activities. Any projects in or near the water may pose serious safety hazards. Check with your council to see if permission is required for any of the field activities.
