Calling all Brownies and Juniors to STICK around for a good time! How many ways can you think of to use a stick? Join the Nature Center interpreters and your OE staff to use sticks as fuel for a fire and a stylish new hiking staff.
Sticks from branches. Sticks on the ground. We'll use them all during this Stick Fun program! Girl Scouts will get a chance to learn about an invasive shrub, Autumn Olive, as they create their own hiking staff from this shrub's branches. They'll use their staff as we hike along the nature trails in search of fire building materials. Girl Scouts will gather materials they think will help them start a campfire. They'll learn where to look and what plants are helpful. Girl Scouts will learn how fire can be helpful or destructive in an ecosystem and use the fire safety they learn about as they try their hand at building a small campfire. Do you think you can make a campfire that will last long enough to roast a marshmallow?
