A Note From Miss New Hampshire

After weeks of planning, Eileen and I will be heading into the White Mountain National Forest for an Adventurous Journey this weekend to fulfill the final requirement of the Duke of Edinburgh Award.  We will be camping, hiking, climbing, building bridges and working on trail repair in the beautiful woods of Northern New Hampshire.  The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award — Young American’s Challenge was first established in 1956 in the United Kingdom and was introduced to the Miss America Program in January 2009.

I am honored to help bring this program to New Hampshire in 2012 and look forward to an annual tradition of team building, exploring the natural world, and completing a demanding journey while learning preparation, self-sufficiency and self-reliance.

Make your life an Adventurous Journey!

Love, Megan
Miss New Hampshire 2012
