Scout Programs at WBG
It is no secret that teaching science outdoors is sort of our thing at Waterfront Botanical Gardens- and now that Girl Scouts have S.T.E.M. focused badges that encourage girls to study science, tinker with tech, explore engineering, and master math skills while simultaneously connecting to the natural world-we can’t resist offering them this spring.
During each 90-minute program, your Scout will complete all requirements necessary to earn a badge. Badges are included and will be distributed at the end of the program.
Registration for all programs below closes on April 30th at 5 p.m.
Each program is $12 per Scout OR pay just $30 for your Scout to enjoy the entire series.
