Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors
Did you know, spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature is associated with good health and wellbeing? Whether you’re spending your days at camp, going on a road trip with family, or hanging out in your own backyard, summer is the perfect time to celebrate your love of the great outdoors.
Here are a few things to remember as you plan your summer of outdoor fun:
- Wear sunscreen! No matter what time of day you plan your adventure, be sure to apply sunscreen—and remember to reapply every few hours for optimal protection!
- Drink plenty of water! Staying hydrated is important for all outdoor activities. Having a picnic or making a snack? Add in foods like watermelon, apples, or celery for even more hydration.
- Try something new! Summer is the perfect time for new experiences. Visit a park that you’ve never been to before, pick up a new sport, or make up a new outdoor game.
You have so many options for how to explore—from your window, a campsite, the sidewalk, or an open trail. Take the Girl Scouts Outdoor Challenge to see how fun—and easy—it is to enjoy nature.
Outside awaits!
