Unite for Earth Day

Annually, Girl Scouts & Scouting America Scouts Unite Together for Education and Conservation in Orono, MN.

Unite for Earth Day is an annual Education and Conservation event to unite Girl Scouts & Scouting America Scouts (including Scouts BSA, Cub Scouts, and Venturers) from the Orono, Westonka, and other surrounding areas (Minnesota) to work together in their community for Earth Day. 

Our event is typically held at the Orono School's Nature Center and Learning Pavilion on a Monday after school into the evening.  Participants arrive and leave based on their availability with school, clubs, sports, work, etc.  Most people stay for about three hours.

Unite for Earth Day 2025- Education

For 2025, we held in-person Education stations with the theme of

"Our Power, Our Planet" and focused on "Solar Energy" and "Co-Operatives".

 

  • We offered the great "Co-Ops for Community" Vinyl Sticker Program from Cabot Creamery and they donated goodies, including cheese samples for a snack. 

  • We offered the super Solar United Neighbors "SUN" Patch and they donated free patches for participants. 

  • We also had an exceptional Ecological Science Conservationist from the MN Board of Water and Soil Resources host an information table to speak with participants about Insect Habitats, Monarch Butterflies, Pollinators, Wildflowers, and more.  She brought donated Pollinator Garden Books, Butterfly Books, and Wildflower Seed Packets for participants. 

  • Our Daisy Girl Scouts worked on their "Make the World a Better Place" petal badge.

  • Our Scouts BSA participants earned conservation hours.

If you missed our event or doing the SUN Patch or Co-Ops for the Community stations, you can do them with your organization.  Links to the programs are on our Earn a Patch page on this website.

Thank you to our over 130 participants and our amazing supporters!

Unite for Earth Day 2025- Conservation

Our In-person Session for 2025 was completing conservation cleanup projects.  The theme was "Our Power, Our Planet" while cleaning up the Orono Nature Center.  

​​

Thank you to the over 130 people who participated.  We had people picking up trash, clearing debris from trails & platforms, clearing vines blocking trails, removing buckthorn, hauling and spreading wood chips, and more.

​​

We appreciate all our volunteers plus the volunteer time and expertise from our amazing Arborist with Rainbow Treecare who supported this event.

Photos are not currently being posted due to being over our storage space for a free WiX website.  If you would like to submit any photos from our event, please email them to uniteforearthday@gmail.com.
