Girl Scouts
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Starting with the Electrician badge in 1916, Girl Scouts has provided hands-on STEM activities that blend technical skills with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience for more than a century.
With badges and experiences available for Girl Scouts in Kindergarten through Grade 12, Girl Scout STEM programming is about more than preparing future engineers; it’s about Girl Scouts discovering how they’ll make their mark on the world. Whether they want to protect the environment or build an app that saves lives, Girl Scouts helps them to explore their passions and aim for the stars. Girl Scouts offer STEM experiences that are age-appropriate and progressive to develop and maintain Girl Scouts’ STEM interest and identity. It takes heed of problems they care about and equips them to take part in building the solutions.
The world of STEM is filled with endless opportunities to make a difference. From exploring computer coding and space exploration to building robots and solutions to problems such as climate change, girls are using STEM as a tool to change our world.
