Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) is a bipartisan child advocacy group spanning more than 30 states in the U.S., but it was the recently established Idaho chapter that was singled out with an award at this year’s Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C.
Megan Smith, assistant professor in the Department of Community and Environmental Health and one of the key leaders of SCAN Idaho, said the group started small but has gained momentum over the last year.
