RUTH
Ruth, an Ursids alumni, spent most of her time in the outdoors, encouraging others to join her for hiking and bicycling trips. She volunteered in her local community, planting and mulching flowerbeds, and was an active writer for the Academy’s NextGen blog. Ruth also participated in the Academy’s student-driven fundraiser, Pay It Forward!
ELENA
Elena, an Ursids alumni, spent much of her time volunteering at the Woodland Wildlife Refuge, assisting in any way they needed. She also volunteered as a helping hand at her local elementary school, helping teachers after school with various projects. Elena got creative, submitting some wonderful sketches of wildlife, and carving pumpkins for Halloween!
HAYDEN
A Gobblers alumni, Hayden used the trifold she made at field school to teach the members of her Scout troop about different types of bird calls. She also taught bear and fire safety, led community members on a flora and fauna ID walk, and talked about the concept of Leave No Trace while kayaking. Hayden submitted her nature photography to the Academy to share on our social media for Photo Fridays, and also participated in the Academy’s student-driven fundraiser, Pay It Forward!
