Girl Scouts and STEM

Girls are natural-born scientists! They look at the world around them with inquisitive eyes, experiment and push boundaries, and learn as they go.

We introduce Girl Scouts of every age to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to help them see how they can actually improve the worldwhether they're discovering how a car's engine runs, learning to manage finances, or caring for animals.

Wed like every girl to explore different aspects of STEM every year, so weve developed a unique, "fun with a purpose" K12 curriculum to inspire girls to embrace and celebrate scientific discovery in their lives.

By inspiring girls to discover more of what they really care about, Leadership Journeys are an essential part of Girl Scouting. Girls explore a wide range of interests along their Journeyseverything from the arts to the outdoors and, of course, STEM.

For example, in the It's Your PlanetLove It! series, girls can explore the natural world by learning about the water cycle, completing energy audits, assessing air quality, calculating their "foodprint" learning kitchen science, and figuring out how much trash is created and how to reduce it.
