Help your scouts learn the difference between vegan and vegetarian.

• Ask a nutritionist to visit with your troop to talk about what a healthy vegan diet includes.
  • What are the health benefits of a vegan diet?
  • Is a vegan diet beneficial for anyone?
  • What vitamins and minerals can be affected by a vegan diet?
• Invite someone who follows a vegan diet to attend a meeting to talk about their experience.
  • Do they find it challenging to order in restaurants?
  • Do they need to bring their own food to family gatherings if extended family does not also eat vegan?
  • Are there any foods that aren’t vegan that would surprise us? ex: are s’mores vegan?
• Help your girls prepare vegan snacks to enjoy together during a troop meeting or take a trip to a vegan restaurant.

Give your scouts the Vegan Patch from MakingFriends®.com to show they understand what a vegan diet is and are able to make accommodations for friends or family that are vegan.
