Girl Scouts will earn their BUG Badge with us by attending our program all about BUGS with an emphasis on aquatic macroinvertebrates (aka water bugs) in their habitat!

At the badge workshop NWDC plans to provide the girl scouts with: Skills to identify terrestrial vs. aquatic insects, a better understanding of aquatic insects in their habitat, and courage and confidence in the outdoors.
