Girl Scout Programs at UMNH

What is Girl Scout Ready? Girl Scout Ready

Several activities offered in regular UMNH youth programs qualify for Try-it and Badge activities! Look for the Girl Scout Ready symbol on Discovery Classes and Summer Camp programs. Girls can enjoy the class on their own or with troop friends -- they come home with what is often a messy activity already completed!
