Girl Scouts Who Compost Program
In partnership with the Girl Scout Arizona Cactus-Pine Council, Let's Go Compost has developed a four week program for Girl Scouts to learn hands-on about composting through STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) activities and community engagement to reduce their waste and help our planet. Participants in the program have the option to purchase a Let’s Go Compost patch and sticker set. Our digital assets can be downloaded free of charge.
This program has tiered, grade-specific activities for all Girl Scout levels, including Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador.
We had a blast with this! The girls loved making the compost bins - from feeling empowered to using power tools to decorating the outside of the compost bins, and of course holding our worms.
We tracked our bins over several weeks and learned about the science behind composting. We learned about our local community compost center and sparked ideas of ways we could share composting with our friends and families!
The girls put their hearts and knowledge into compost promotional posters and planned a service trip to the Prescott Community Compost Center to turn compost as a troop. Lastly, we celebrated with dirt cake and gummy worms, what a treat!
