    2. Participate in the I Tapped Out program by turning off the water when you brush your teeth.
      • Turn off the water when you brush your teeth. GSMIDTN wants others to know how we can all work together and do a simple thing to make the world a better place.

    3. Participate in the Project Green Tree program by learning about the impact of deforestation on our planet.
      • Take a hike and learn how to identify five of the trees around you.
      • Trees have had many uses, both in the past and present. Research their uses and then record how many tree products you use a day.
      • Recycle! In your home, place a box to put all your recycling instead of the trash can. When the box is full, take it to a recycling bin or make something new out of it.

This community is a place where every girl can be herself and be part of a great network of other girls who all are joined in the spirit of Girl Scouts.

This patch is all about exploring what it means to be a Girl Scout in the digital world. You will experience a new or different version of some familiar activities in a virtual environment. Using your devices, you can explore an amazing assortment of activities and experiences without ever having to leave your home.
