The Question

Subject: [volmonitor] Girl Scouts

Hello All,

I received a request today from a Girl Scout leader who is looking for someone who might be
willing to come out and talk to her troop about monitoring and water quality as part of their
World Water Monitoring Day participation. Is there anyone near Fort Washington, Maryland who
would be interested/willing to assist? (I’ll also take leads.)

Also, please note that WWMD is hosting its official kickoff on September 18 in Washington, D.C.
Any of you who can are welcome to attend. More information can be found at
http://www.worldwatermonitoringday.org/Events/launch.html

Thank you,

If people do speak to Girl Scout groups, it would probably be helpful to know about
and share information about the EPA’s Girl Scout Water Drop Patch:

We are currently doing that through involvement with the Girl Scout Linking Girls
to the Land partnership. The brochure we’re using for scout groups is available on our
website at http://www.worldwatermonitoringday.org/Docs/Girl_Scout_WWMD_Brochure.pdf in case
anyone is interested. The EPA patch is on the front.
