Outreach activities have been implemented to interest girls in careers in science and engineering, with emphasis on the physical and biological sciences. A patch program called “The Microscopic World” was designed for Girl Scouts in grades 1-12, sponsored by Tanasi Girl Scout Council. This program has been successful in providing hands-on science activities for girls in traditional Girl Scout troops, in large-group programs, in non-traditional Outreach groups, and at summer camp at Camp Tanasi. Over 900 girls have completed this patch program in the past four years.
