Outdoor
experiences are an integral part of the Girl Scouts. Outdoor activities are woven
into every aspect of Girl Scouts in such a way that girls feel comfortable
trying new things and testing their limits, and gain confidence and acquire new
skills in a safe and supportive all-girl environment. From a relaxed swim in
the lake to teaming up on a wildlife conservation project to high-adventure
rock-climbing, Girl Scouts offers girls a variety of opportunities to learn and
grow inside and out. Let’s take a look at some fun outdoor badge opportunities
for Brownies!
First
up is Bugs!
Bugs help us in lots of cool ways. Explore the world of bugs and learn more
