My daughter is currently a Brownie in Girl Scouts (3rd grade) and has been interested in space and rockets for a long time. Lets just say at age 4 she could name all the planets in order and their major moons. I've been building Estes kits with her for a few years now and I've been thinking about doing something with her Girl Scout group. Maybe just a basic lesson on thrust, gravity, and such and then each of them building an Estes kit and launching it.
So, my question is this... Have any of you worked with Girl Scouts before and, if so, what badge would they be able to earn from it? I've noticed that the Girl Scouts are much different than the Boy Scouts... so I am not sure if they even have a badge for rocketry. But maybe I could work it in for a craft badge or something along those lines. Any ideas?
Also, is there a retail outlet that would give a discount on a large order of kits and motors for a Girl Scout organization?
