Has your backyard been full of BUZZING cicadas this spring? Before you “bug out,” Join our friends at the Southface Institute to meet your next bug BFF and learn about how they are an important part of our ecosystem!  Discover more about spring’s cicadas, pollinators, and bugs galore with interactive hands-on activities.  Explore pollinators in an urban apiary (or bee farm) create your own bug art, and discover more about our noisy friends. Join us for a fun afternoon of STEM activities designed to inspire our next generation of sustainability leaders.  

This workshop is for Daisy, Brownie, and Junior Girl Scouts (in grades K-5), and will be hosted by our partners at the Southface Institute in midtown Atlanta. Each Girl Scout must be accompanied by an adult (parent, guardian, or Troop Leader) within typical safety ratios.  Siblings within the same age range are welcome; please include them in this registration. All Girl Scouts will receive a special fun patch, and Brownies will receive their Bugs badge.  This is NOT a drop-off event.  Due to the nature of this program, adults need to purchase a ticket for themselves and any additional adults or siblings that will be in attendance. Adults will have an opportunity to engage in the program experience alongside their Girl Scouts, helping to reinforce new concepts, learning, exploration, and development.  We encourage you to be ENGAGED, let your GIRL SCOUT take the LEAD, and HAVE FUN!
