Four NSP kits will soon be available nationwide to any leaders, councils, and educators interested in obtaining them. See our FAQs for more information.

Choose from:
Science Wonders: A Volunteer's Guide to Brownie Girl Scout Activities
Space Explorer: A Volunteer's Guide to Brownie Girl Scout Activities
Science Sleuth: A Volunteer's Guide to Junior Girl Scout Activities
Weather Watch: A Volunteer's Guide to Junior Girl Scout Activities

The National Science Partnership program kits each contain a "Volunteer's Guide" including easy to follow instructions, hints about how to modify and extend the activity for your troop or group, and explanations of the scientific principles explored in each activity.

Also included in every NSP kit are enough consumable materials for at least 15 Girl Scouts. We have carefully considered the quality, affordability and accessibility of the materials in each kit and we've chosen to include materials that you would not generally find in your home or grocery store, such as hand lenses and iron filings. In addition to the materials in the NSP kit, you will need to use common household items for most of the activities, i.e. plastic cups, scissors, and markers.

	Science Wonders Girls will experience the wonders of science as they investigate magnetic force, crystal formation, paper-making, and chemical and physical changes. They will discover the scientists within themselves by asking questions, exploring, and reflecting upon what they see, feel, and hear in a journal that will inspire their continued exploration of our world.
Space Explorer Girls will enjoy a whole galaxy of exciting activities as they orbit the Sun, chase their shadows, and launch rockets. Without ever leaving planet Earth, girls can explore the starry skies and build instruments that will fuel their continued exploration of the solar system and their place in our ever-expanding universe.
	Science Sleuth Girls will have fun using the observation and problem-solving skills of a Science Sleuth to crack the case of the missing Girl Scout cookies. Molecules that form crystals, tiny fibers that make-up paper, non-Newtonian fluids, and ink fingerprints will never again escape girls. eyes once they grab their hand lenses and accept their mission as Science Sleuths!
Weather Watch Girls will feel their hair stand on end as they explore static electricity, temperature, air pressure, wind, clouds, and seasons. By building instruments to measure and monitor the weather, girls will appreciate the complex process behind forecasts that keep us cool on warm days and dry on wet ones. Once girls become amateur meteorologists they.ll never get their heads out of the clouds!
