To earn the Space Science badges, girls need to complete five steps
(three for Daisies), choosing one of the three activity choices for
each step. Designed to take three meetings, the Space Science badges
can be completed using the troop leader materials in the Volunteer Toolkit (VTK), using the Badge Booklet
available in GSNorCal Shops, or using both! The badge
booklets are colorful and fun for girls, while the VTK includes links
to additional resources and downloadable PDFs.
Since receiving funding from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in
2015, GSNorCal has collaborated with the SETI
Institute, GSUSA, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and other
space science educators to develop a new series of Space Science badges for Girl
Scouts at every program level.
Older girls can also explore space with the Night Owl badge for Cadettes, and the Sky badge for Seniors.
