Skill Building Badge: Home Scientist
By paying careful attention during experiments, scientists learn new things - even if they've done the test before. That means you don't have to grow up to be a scientist. You're a scientist every time you do an experiment! In this badge, find out where science has been hiding in your own home.
The Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting can help you learn about science by following these 5 steps:
- Be a kitchen chemist
- Create static electricity
- Dive into density
- Make something bubble up
- Play with Science
Each step of the way you need to complete one of three activities. When you have earned this badge, you'll be able to see science all around you.
Get started on your Home Science badge today - refer to your Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting for complete instructions and activities.

Get Moving Troop 408
On April 22, 2012, at the Dig This® Event, Troop 408 recycled approximately 1875 aluminum cans, 30 bundles of newspapers, magazines, a large garbage bag filled with Christmas wrappings, paper and junk mail, and lots of cardboard, including Girl Scout cookie boxes. Great job girls! Their efforts are part of the Get Moving Journey. The girls also kept track of their reusable bottle usage and started carrying a reusable tote bag, as well as participated in Earth Hour replacing their lights with energy efficient bulbs.
Now that May is here we begin our plans for the next Girl Scout year. Your third grade Brownies will be bridging to the Junior level and your second grade Brownies will be continuing as second year Brownies. Whether you're a new leader or returning be sure you have the right training for the new year.
