Girl Scouts of America Offers New STEM Badges

Posted August 3, 2017 by ilee

The Girl Scouts of America are offering 23 new badges focused on STEM areas. In the photo is Sylvia Acevedo, right, CEO of the Girl Scouts of the USA (and former NASA-Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist) from Las Cruces, NM!  She says ""My troop leader looked at me and saw me looking at the stars, and she taught me that there were constellations, she taught me there were systems and patterns to the stars. Because I got my science badge I developed that courage and that confidence to study science and math at a time when girls like me weren't studying science and math.
