Bridging the Gap
Not sure what events to plan for your next troop meeting?
Check out a Bridging the Gap (BTG) activity tub! This program promotes the idea that every woman and girl can enjoy and excel in science, math, engineering, and technology.
BTG Tubs are especially designed for troops to easily explore the world of science while earning Girl Scout recognition such as a badge or Try-It.
Tubs can be requested and checked out from your Service Unit’s BTG Coordinator.
