Scouts will make “Flower Bombs” to take home, and earn the Home Scientist Badge in this program. The program is taught in our laboratory classroom, where we will explore the basic principles of magnetism, learn chemistry by combining kitchen ingredients to produce gases, discover density and salinity not only with common items but also how it’s applicable to marine environments, and make beach sand “bubble up” as we explore climate change’s effects on our oceans. Through everyday items, girls will learn the basics of science, and how it’s applied to daily and marine life. Girls will earn the Letterboxer Badge in this program. Each girl will also make her own unique stamper to use (and keep) when finding letterboxes. During this program scouts will create marine-themed Letterbox caches which they will hide in secret outdoor places on Sandy Hook for their friends to then find through coded clues. Letterboxing is an amazing adventure game played all over the world. Girls will earn the Hiker Badge in this program. While on their hike from Fort Hancock through the maritime forest to the Sandy Hook beach, scouts will do a Scavenger Hunt that helps them identify and explore this seashore environment full of marine creatures, unique plants, and fascinating shells. Get ready for an amazing coastal adventure! We start in our laboratory classroom where we learn how to make and interpret trail markings from shells, twigs, and rocks, and make GORP to eat on our hike. Scouts will complete the Earth and Sky Journey in this 3-hour program. For the Take Action Requirement, the girls will do a mini beach cleanup.
We’ll go on a Scavenger Hunt hike to the beach, where the troop will go seining/dip netting in the bay (equipment provided) to find sea creatures, and collect shells to take home. They’ll conduct a matching activity with seeds and flowers. Scouts will do colorful textural shell tracings, and paint seashells with paints made from nature, in crafts they’ll bring home. They will play measuring games with shells and make a pompom Shell Friend to take home. We’ll begin in our laboratory classroom, as scouts learn about various seashells found on NJ beaches and the animals that make them. Scouts will explore the central elements of Size, Shape, Texture, and Color as expressed through science at Sandy Hook, in this program taught both indoors and outdoors. Scouts will earn the Clover Petal in this program. Girls will go on a guided beach hike to collect seashells that they will re-purpose to make an arts-and-crafts project on the beach to take home. Scouts will learn about using resources wisely as they play a recycling game and use our rain barrel water collection system to see practical water re-use. Girls will earn the Rose Petal in this program. They will make a recycled jellyfish craft, and go on a guided beach hike to collect shells and conduct a mini beach cleanup. Through a scavenger hunt conducted in our laboratory classroom, girls will discover what can be recycled, what can be composted, and how to read recycling codes. Learn how to make the world a better place during this program. 20, or email at Scout programs can also be reserved online select that option on the NJSGC Scout General Information Page and complete the application.

Programs are led by experienced NJSGC environmental educators.
All programs are held at Sandy Hook some are indoor programs and can be done during the winter or inclement weather, while others are outdoor-only programs. These programs are an opportunity to explore the marine environment in a fun and educational way while completing requirements to earn a badge. The New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium (NJSGC) offers a variety of marine science-based Girl Scout merit badge programs for all levels of scouting from Daisys through Cadettes.
