Saw on Megan's Twitter, she thanked her NH sisters for a great weekend and hashtagged DOE. What did they do?

I think they earned the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Medal. I saw it on her FB and the Miss NH FB inviting the Miss NH girls a few weeks ago. There are pictures posted from their white mountain hike and outdoor adventure. Looks like NH is doing great things. (NT) No name 09:41:51 10/29/12 Mon

about time they participated in the duke of edinburgh program (NT) -- No name, 13:49:47 10/29/12 Mon
Where are the photos from the hike? I didn't see those posted (NT) -- No name, 18:22:07 10/29/12 Mon

It's a secret. Shhh (NT) -- No name, 04:04:23 10/31/12 Wed

LOL (NT) -- No name, 04:47:27 10/31/12 Wed

They are on Megan's FB page. (NT) No name 16:54:01 10/31/12 Wed

Will someone PLEASE tell me the difference between Megan's FB page and the Miss NH FB page??? Because it wasn't on the Miss NH FB page last night. Are you talking about Megan's private page for her friends? (NT) -- No name, 19:12:47 10/31/12 Wed

It's not on the Miss NH FB page tonight either (NT) -- No name, 19:55:31 10/31/12 Wed

What exactly if the Duke if Edinburgh program/medal? (NT) No name 19:12:41 10/31/12 Wed

Megan's FB page is under Megan Lyman. All pics are there. Google Duke of Edinbrugh Award and there is a lengthy criteria. It's pretty cool. (NT) No name 03:47:05 11/01/12 Thu

So unless you have a FB account and are a FB friend of hers, you don't get to see them? LOL what a great titleholder! NOT (NT) -- No name, 04:05:44 11/01/12 Thu

I always loved Megan and rooted for her to win the state crown, but I'm sadly disappointed in her reign. I mean, photos on her personal FB page when she's doing something to win an award as Miss NH? There haven't been a lot of appearance photos posted either. Some, but I would bet she's working way harder than we're led to believe by the photos, so I can only assume those must be on her personal page as well. I understand she may be trying to avoid the overexposure past Miss NHs have experienced, but at the same time, she's a state representative and it's a shame we can't publicly keep up with her whole year. Miss America and fear of overexposure should not be all it's about (NT) Very disappointed. Hope next year's titleholder is more open 04:50:30 11/01/12 Thu

You are just gripping because she doesn't post here. She is all over FB. What I am disappointed in is the new MIss NH website. Where are the photos there. So it is the Miss NH organization that I am disappointed with. (NT) -- No name, 15:11:58 11/01/12 Thu

I agree. I am very disappointed with the new website. It is hard to navigate and not user friendly. Bring back the old way. Even as a tech-savvy mid-20s woman it is a challenge. There isn't as much information either. Not eye catching. (NT) -- No name, 17:53:12 11/01/12 Thu
She's all over FB on her PRIVATE PAGE. I'm from out of state and I usually follow Miss NH because you guys usually select a girl I like, but I don't have a FB account and even if I did, I don't know a thing about Megan to "friend" her just to see photos. When you're a state titleholder, you're supposed to be promote your title with photos of appearances. Megan must have missed the memo (NT) -- No name, 18:27:21 11/01/12 Thu

I'm actually surprised this is being allowed. A state titleholder, by definition, should be a public figure. Photos taken of her during appearances or at events related to said title should be made public. I'm surprised and disappointed in the NH leadership and in Miss NH for not being more open to the fans. A very bad precedent to set (NT) -- No name, 16:09:59 11/03/12 Sat

I believe the only Miss NH that CONSISTENTLY updated her photos weekly (if not daily at times) was Audra Paquette (Burns). (NT) -- No name, 13:42:58 11/06/12 Tue

Loved Audra! Now there's a true representative. I hope we crown someone next year who wants everyone in the loop (NT) -- No name, 04:14:56 11/07/12 Wed

hmmm...just without all the bashing that took place way back when Audra competed (NT) -- No name, 12:33:32 11/07/12 Wed

Found the link to a blog about the girls outdoor adventure! http://doenh.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=13 (NT) No name 15:25:42 11/06/12 Tue

That was amazing. Love Megan. It is great that NH is stepping it up, will Megan get the award on stage at Miss America like they awarded them last year? (NT) -- No name, 15:46:54 11/07/12 Wed

I doubt that they will do that again. Several states complained. (NT) -- No name, 15:56:59 11/07/12 Wed

they should have complained that was an unfair advantage (NT) -- No name, 17:45:24 11/07/12 Wed

How was it an unfair advantage? Did any of the top 5 even get an award? (NT) -- No name, 17:53:05 11/07/12 Wed

People complain when all the hardwork is done and they didn't do it. It is so much easier to cave than honor girls who have worked hard and are recognized. Wonder how many states that complained did the work and are being awarded a medal. (NT) No name 17:55:45 11/07/12 Wed

I think it's because some of the girls were not given the chance to compete I heard some states did not participate in it I am glad that NH is finally being a part of it (NT) -- No name, 17:58:40 11/07/12 Wed

What do you mean weren't given the chance to compete? What does that mean? (NT) -- No name, 18:30:31 11/07/12 Wed

Everyone can complete the Duke of Edinburgh Award. It's a lot of work and falls in line with volunteering, athletics, an adenturous journey and a community project. Every state can apply. It makes sense, the principals fall in line with the Miss America. (NT) No name 01:17:19 11/08/12 Thu

Unfortunately until this year the Miss NH org was not on board with participating in the Duke of Edinburgh award, if they were both Lyndsey and or Regan would have participated and probably even Krystal (NT) -- I am happy they have elected to have Megan involved, 02:33:16 11/08/12 Thu

This award wasn't part of the MAO until last year, so Lindsay and Krystle are non-issues. As to Regan, did someone tell her she couldn't do it? The MAO announced it to all state titleholders (NT) -- No name, 03:19:12 11/08/12 Thu

This award has nothing to do with MAO. Don't sweat the small stuff. (NT) -- No name, 09:26:50 11/10/12 Sat
