During this hands-on program, Girl Scout Brownies will be observing the insects that live in the outdoor and indoor spaces at the Cleveland Botanical Garden and exploring how these tiny organisms help with the important job of pollinating plants.
Find a bug and build an observation box for it. Each troop should bring shoeboxes with them – bring one per Girl Scout or bring just one shoebox to make a single observation box the troop can share. Each Girl Scout will be given the Bugs Girl Scout badge upon completion of the program.
