Symposium Woven into Youth Environmental Leadership Week– New Germany State Park, Maryland

As part of the Highlands Environmental Leadership Program (HELP) weekend, the Boy Scout Venturing Crew shared the Symposium with 34 high school students and 10 other community members at New Germany State Park in Maryland.  Results from the successful inter-generational Symposium included 10 high school students signing up for Facilitator Training and all attendees signing their Commitment poster.  The Symposium perfectly complemented the other weekend leadership training activities on teamwork and self-awareness.  A candlelight vigil on behalf of countries most devastated by climate change was synchronized with 1000s of other vigil groups around the world  Dec 11.   Contact: Paul Kazyak – pkazyak@dnr.state.md.us
