Learn something new!
We officially opened our Girl Experience Center for regular programming in March of 2022! Since then, we've hosted countless programs, troop meetings, and parties - all thanks to our Girl Scouts!
This fun and interactive space hosts a variety of programming opportunities throughout the year with most of the programs having a foundation in or emphasis on STEM education.
Girl Scouting has a history of offering STEM opportunities to girls dating to the earliest days of the organization and some program offerings will reflect that legacy, combining traditional Girl Scout activities with both period and contemporary scientific principles. These hands-on opportunities include Geocaching, the international “hide and seek” adventure game utilizing traditional navigational methods as well as current satellite-based GPS technology, and a program based on skills from the very first Girl Scout Handbook which include period but timeless STEM lessons.
In addition to these options, there will be special staff- lead programs on the first Saturday of each month focusing on a variety of subjects. Finally, there will be a selection of “DIY” Programs in which leaders can self-facilitate programming in The Girl Experience Center based on rotating Girl Scout Badge-in-a-Bag options, STEAM Starter Kits, and STEM Investigation Activity Kits developed through an exciting partnership with Georgia Southern University.

Programs at the Girl Experience Center
IMPORTANT: Troops are responsible for registering the proper number of

The Early Years
STEM has been part of Girl Scout programming since the very beginning! The Early Years explores traditional Girl Scout activities from the very first Girl Scout Handbook which include period but timeless STEM lessons. Activities in this patch program include Morse Code, Electrical Engineering, Real-life Physics Applications, and First Aid!
Available for all grade levels!
STEM Sampler
We all know that STEM is the future, but sometimes we don’t know where to start! Join us to get a “taste” of at least three fields of STEM during this grade-level adjustable program. Activities in this patch program may include hands-on experiments in chemistry, biology, geometry, physics, earth science, and more!
Recommended for Girl Scout Brownies and up!
Girl Scouts Bee Sweet
Bee-lieve it or not, honeybees help provide 1/3 of ALL the food we eat! From the chocolate in s’mores to the mint in Thin Mints, Girl Scouts (& everyone) should be sweet to the bees! Even the Queen Bee, herself could learn something from this grade-level adjustable program. Activities in this patch may include learning about the bees themselves & hive dynamics, the chemistry & uses of honey, and more!
Available for all grade levels!
