Mistakes have been made.

Hi! I am a volunteer with my local Girl Scout council and put together an Earth Day activity plan based on WAGGGS/UN climate badges and Girl Scout nature badges from all levels. If you are a troop leader, volunteer, or just have a group of kids, here is an Earth Day program you can tailor to your own area and try out!

Thank you for sticking around to read about the history and the projects of Small Steps. We are now entering a new era, the era where we found the right small step for us.

As mentioned before, we are a team of three. We are all some flavor of nerd but share a love for Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. We had a book club in college where we read all of the (Adams-authored) books out loud to each other. We know not to panic, where not to say Belgium, and of course, the importance of towels.

Introducing: The Hitchhiker’s Guild. We will be holding towel drives on or around towel day each year, starting in 2024. We’re still working out some of the details, but organizations helping humans often have a need for new towels, and organizations helping domestic animals often have a need for gently used ones.

Updates will be posted here. Thank you for being a part of our new journey.
