Think Like a Citizen Scientist Brownie Camp Weekend

Join our Older Girl Team Captains to earn your Think Like a Citizen Scientist, Shapes in Nature, or Numbers in Nature badge. Enjoy some time outdoors at camp while having fun with science. Observe nature, make a craft, and play some games. There are two options for this event: (1) Saturday overnight stay or (2) Saturday day only. Older Girl Scouts will serve as team captains for each group.

Girls will have two options for badges to complete. (1) Complete the requirements of the Think Like a Citizen Scientist badge (Steps 1-3). Troops can complete their Take Action Project separately to complete this Journey. (2) Complete the requirements of the Numbers in Nature and Shapes in Nature badges.

Note: No at-the-door registrations or registration changes are accepted. Please be diligent in ensuring the correct girls are registered so materials can be prepared appropriately. Any registrant swaps should be completed at least 3 weeks in advance, so they can be facilitated before the cancellation deadline.
