Girl Scouts Guide

Girl Scouts has teamed up with SciStarter to curate projects and provide training and support for girls, volunteers, and others to deepen their engagement in citizen science and explore outdoor STEM. GLOBE Observer is one of the projects that Girl Scouts can do as part of the Girl Scout Climate Challenge (GLOBE Clouds), Girl Scout Tree Promise (GLOBE Trees), and Think Like a Citizen Scientist Journey (GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper and Clouds). Learn more at https://scistarter.org/girlscouts-info and watch the SciStarter LIVE: Citizen Science for Girl Scouts webinar.

Girl Scouts can use the GLOBE Observer app to complete their Think Like a Citizen Scientist Journey . The resources on this page are designed to help troop leaders lead the first two meetings. Use the Getting Started guide to add the Journey to your year plan and register for a SciStarter account. Once your troop chooses a protocol that interests them, use the corresponding resources to lead the meetings. Watch the video together as a troop or simply use the video for ideas on how to lead your own program. The script and presentation may be used independently if you wish to lead the program yourself. Explore the case studies to see how other troops have adapted these resources. For more activities and resources, check out the rest of the Toolkit for Informal Educators which is organized by protocol.
