Scout Badges

Girl Scouts

The Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC) offers badge programs for Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts of New Mexico. With a focus on the natural world and the environment, PEEC supports the mission of the Girl Scouts to develop confidence, courage and skills.

Brownies

Currently, PEEC offers the following badge programs for Brownies:

• Watching Wildlife
  Brownies will discover the fascinating ways that animals make their homes, how they communicate, and the ways that they change their appearances with the seasons. We will also explore what animals eat and where they find their meals.
• Eco-Explorer
  This badge explores ecology - the study of how plants and animals live together in the environment. We will investigate how to look for signs of wildlife, how to explore nature, animal relationships within a food chain, and how each of us can help wildlife.

Juniors

Currently, PEEC offers the following badge program for Junior Girl Scouts:

• Earth Connection
  Juniors will study the ecology surrounding the nature center at PEEC. We will learn to identify trees, explore the plant life at various levels of the forest, read tree rings, and explore the fascinating adaptations that plants or animals have made in order to survive.
• Wildlife
  Scouts will discover the fundamental elements of wildlife and habitat, including observation, identification and conservation. Each Scout will have a field journal to record information, to sketch, write and record her findings!
