The Irish Girl Guides
To help spread the message of Leave No Trace, the Irish Girl Guides not only included an article on Leave No Trace within its October Leaders’ magazine, but also sent out with each magazine a copy of the Leave No Trace booklet. They have also changed the syllabus in their Brownie programme (for girls 7 – 10 years of age) from “understand the importance of the Country Code” to “understand the Leave No Trace message”.
