GSEM Silver Award Project Catalog

Space Science Station

Project Details: Knowing how busy Troop Leaders can get when planning for meetings or programs, Cadettes from Troop 4709 wanted to offer a stress-free solution to earn their Girl Scout Silver Award. These young leaders created a pre-planned activity box for leaders to use when needed. Inside the boxes, the Girl Scouts crafted fun, engaging materials that would teach younger girls about space. Their boxes take the younger troops through the steps to earn their Space Science Investigator Badge or Space Science Adventurer Badge. The Girl Scouts shared their boxes with the Shady Creek Day Camp and GSEM District 8 leaders to check out and use when they need a pre planned activity.

Silver Award Team: Troop 4709

Issue: Programming was needed for leaders at Day Camp and meetings. Root Cause: Troop leaders and day camp unit leaders often don’t have enough time to plan activities. Target Audience: Shady Creek Day Camp and GSEM District 8 leaders. Sustainability: The Girl Scouts made badge boxes that troops and leaders are able to check out and use with little preparation and return for future users.
