Global Action Days

In 2015, leaders worldwide agreed to work together to accomplish 17 goals by 2030—these are referred to as the Global Goals for Sustainable Development, or SDGs for short. They focus on things like taking care of the environment, making sure all people have enough to eat, and improving people’s health. They’re big goals, but Girl Scouts know a thing or two about changing the world! Girl Scouts at Home, GSSI Girl Scouts’ Global Action award calls for girls to address the SDGs by discovering, connecting, and taking action in their communities and beyond. In 2019, the emphasis is on SDG 1 What: Girl Scouting doesn't have to stop during this time of (No Poverty) and SDG 15 (Life on Land). In 2020, girls will ex- social distancing!
