Cadettes will learn how citizen scientists make observations, collect data, and help scientists conduct scientific research. Then, they’ll apply what they’ve learned by surveying and identifying the living things that call camp home—including flowers, birds, reptiles, mammals and more! Girl Scouts will record their findings and share their observations with researchers and scientists using iNaturalist as part of the City Nature Challenge.

Girl Scout Cadettes complete Part 1 of Think Like a Citizen Scientist Badge.
