New Girl Scout Badges
STEM Badges • Automotive Engineering Three badges per level for
Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors. Girls learn how vehicles are designed, engineered, and manufactured. In each of the badges, they design and build vehicle prototypes that meet sets of criteria and solve problems for others. • STEM Career Exploration One badge per level for Brownies,
Juniors, and Cadettes. Girls explore their own interests, how those connect with different STEM careers, and how they can use STEM to make a difference. They look at different fields and careers in STEM and create a plan for how they’ll make the world a better place. The badges are “Unplugged” but include optional “Plugged” and in-person components to amplify the activities.
