Trailblazers: Safety, Etiquette, and Environmental Action
Join Greenways Foundation for an engaging and hands-on educational experience designed to help Girl Scouts become confident, respectful, and environmentally conscious trail users. During this interactive session, scouts will explore trail etiquette and safety practices across Indiana's diverse trail systems. Using our S.A.F.E. Trail Code, girls will learn how to:
Share the trail with others
Alert and yield appropriately
Follow Leave No Trace and respect nature
Equip yourself and stay aware
From yielding guidelines and trail courtesy to outdoor preparedness and environmental stewardship, scouts will gain practical skills to help keep trails safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone.
The session also includes an impact project focused on invasive species education. Scouts will learn how to identify bush honeysuckle, one of Indiana's most common invasive plants, and discover how its spread impacts native ecosystems. Through guided, hands-on removal, participants will help make room for stronger native biodiversity and healthier trail environments.
