Ever wonder what a wriggling stream bug or towering sycamore tree can tell you about stream health? Girl Scout Daisies (Kindergarten – 1st grade), get your boots wet for a citizen science stream study at Stroud Water Research Center! Join us for a streamside storytime, take a short hike on our nature trails, explore stream habitats studied year-round by real scientists, and discover the creek critters who spend their lives underwater. Then, help the experts put the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) in “stream” by analyzing water-quality data and learning how YOU can be a super stream steward!

Please note that the Think Like a Citizen Scientist Award is just one of two requirements for the Think Like a Citizen Scientist STEM Journey; to earn the full journey, Girl Scouts are encouraged to complete a Take Action project independent of the Stroud Center at home or with their troop. All participating Scouts will receive a unique Stroud Center Education Programs Fun Patch.

This program is subject to change based on COVID-19 and is occurring in person with rigorous safety protocols. Cloth face masks are REQUIRED for all youth and adults. Participants of all ages must follow COVID-19 safety guidelines provided prior to their program and sign a COVID-19 liability waiver. Participants should wear comfortable layers for this entirely outdoor program, but stream boots will be provided. Individual girls must be accompanied by a registered adult.
