Today, Governor Deval Patrick, has assigned as "No Name Calling Day". Students are encouraged to wear black to school today to "black out" bullying. "We need to foster safe environments for students, and 'No Name Calling Day' is an initiative to help raise awareness that bullying should not be tolerated," Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray said. "I hope that on this day and throughout the year, students feel protected and safe in their schools and communities." Students will also sign No Name Calling posters. I know that last year my school did this. To read more, visit Governor Deval Patrick's Black out Bullying Day.

Step 2: Identify Issues You Care About
Step 2 in the pyramid is "Identify Issues You Care About." We did this step individually, but also as a troop.Some of the issues in the world we decided we care about:
1.) Bullying - We decided that we don't want to be bullied, and neither do other people. As mentioned in our aMAZE post, everyone deserves the right to be accepted. Bullying prevents world-wide acceptance, which is why we think that pro-peace is an important cause to fight for.
2.) Global Warming - Once our atmosphere is destroyed, there is nothing we can do to fix it. What will the world come to? Recycling or a recycling project would be a good way to solve on millionth of this enormous problem, which is why we considered a project such as this for our Silver Award.
3.) Lack of Education - Children need a proper education. Without proper knowledge of the world and society around them, children are seriously stunted in their ability to go through life in an informed and connected. Ignorance is not bliss. Perhaps obliviousness is bliss, but ignorance certainly isn't. We weren't sure how we could remedy this issue, which is why we decided to leave such an important topic to the professionals.
