NEW! Bugs Legacy Badge (for Brownie Girl Scouts)
Explore the world of bugs with a bug expert! We'll make a bug craft, see some of the bugs from the museum's permanent collection, sweep net in the wild prairie to find all kinds of critters that call the grasses and flowers home and we'll learn how scientists put bugs into groups so they can study and learn more about them. You'll complete everything you need to do to get the Bugs Skill Builder; each girl will receive the Bugs naturalist legacy badge as part of the program.
