Learn To Not Burn
Ella Peña is on a mission to teach kids that sun safety can be fun — one SPF lesson at a time. ☀️
A big idea with a sunny heart
For her Girl Scout Gold Award — the highest award a Girl Scout can earn — Ella created Learn To Not Burn, a project dedicated to teaching young kids why protecting your skin matters and how easy (and fun!) good sun habits can be.
Through games, coloring, and hands-on activities, Ella makes sun safety click for the age group that needs it most. At her booth at Green Day in Miami Shores, kids who answered sun-safety questions correctly earned their very own sunscreen — turning learning into a reward they could take home and actually use.
Bask Suncare is proud to support Ella by giving her project a home right here on our site — because we believe the skin you're in is worth celebrating and protecting.
