Capital One Financial Fitness Challenge for Brownies, Mar 28

brownie_money-manager_largeMoney helps us buy things we need, like food and clothes. And money helps us buy things we want, like video games and movie tickets! Learn the difference between wants and needs in this badge. Create your very own save/spend piggy bank! Troops must meet their individual adult to girl ratio. Capital One Financial Fitness Patch included.

Leaders and registered adults are the only ones who can transport Girl Scouts. Adults can register with the Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital to be able to transport girls and participate on various levels. We can meet at and return to PGMA or parents can meet at the site. If participation is too low we will cancel.

Cadette & Junior Crime Museum Badge Programs, Apr 4

crimeMuseumLogoThe Crime Museum is offering badge programs that go above and beyond the basics and teach Girl Scouts the ins and outs of investigation. All the programs include admission to the Museum, so not only will girls earn a badge, but they will also learn and explore American History from a different perspective.

For the Cadette Special Agent badge program, girls will learn the secrets from the worlds of forensic science and criminal psychology. In the Junior Detective badge program, girls will learn the necessary skills and discover a new passion by becoming an official Crime Museum Detective.
