I've made preliminary inquires regarding the establishment of a Girl Scout merit badge or other achievement award in online encyclopedia improvement. There is precedent for such a program in the 1960's "Wing Scouts" Girl Scout aviation program:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing Scout#Wing Scouts in Northern CaliforniaSan Francisco's Girl Scout camp, Camp Ida Smith, is due to be returned soon from the Department of Public Works after renovation of the Lake Merced pumping station — see p. 4, topic 12 of
www.girlscoutsnorcal.org/documents/08-07-07-MM-No-Co.pdf —
presenting an opportunity for the re-commissioning ceremony.
It is still not clear to me what is necessary to establish a new achievement award, but I would ask that list members in the US contact their local Girl Scouts USA Council in support of the proposal:
www.girlscouts.org/councilfinder/For those of you outside of the US, please contact the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts —
www.wagggs.org/email wagggs at wagggsworld dot org — and/or the USA Girl Scouts Overseas —
www.girlscouts.org/who we are/overseas/committees/or email kathryn.m.owen at eur dot army dot mil.
Richard, how have the New York Chapter efforts to contact the Girl Scouts been going?
