The Take Action Pin is also a new prerequisite for High Awards. Here are a few ideas for earning that pin:
Create bat houses for a garden with signs educating visitors on how bats are pollinators
Make a game table for the Ronald McDonald House. It continues to give to the community when visitors play the games.
Put together exercise cards or diy games for nursing homes. This will give visitors activities that they can do with the residents when they visit.
