The National Science Partnership For Girl Scout Councils & Science Museums

宾夕法尼亚州费城的富兰克林研究所科学博物馆与世界上最大的女孩志愿组织美利坚合众国女童军合作，请求国家科学基金会为女童军理事会和科学博物馆国家科学伙伴关系提供支持。这个为期三年的项目在全国六个地区的七个女童军理事会和六个科学技术博物馆之间建立了伙伴关系，以促进美国年轻女性的科学兴趣和知识。该项目为女童子军领导人提供了实践科学活动工具包和培训讲习班，以帮助他们与其部队开展科学活动。科学活动与现有的女童子军徽章计划直接相关，并帮助布朗尼和少年女童子军(8-11岁)满足与科学相关的徽章要求。每个理事会/博物馆伙伴关系都将制定一个具体的计划，让当地服务不足的人群参与女童子军科学活动。在三年的联邦支持期间，国家科学伙伴关系将制定一项具体计划，让当地服务不足的人群参与女童子军科学活动。在三年的联邦支持期间，国家科学伙伴关系将直接为11500名领导人和13.8万名女童子军提供服务。广泛的项目宣传将鼓励GSUSA、理事会、科学博物馆和其他正规教育组织参与新的伙伴关系并使国家科学伙伴关系制度化，从而使该项目有可能惠及全美230多万女童子军和780,000名领导人。

The Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia, PA, in collaboration with the Girl Scouts of the United States of America, the largest voluntary organization for girls in the world, requests NSF support for the National Science Partnership for Girl Scout Councils and Science Museums. This three-year project establishes partnerships between seven Girl Scout councils and six science-technology museums in six regions across the nation to promote science interest and knowledge in young American women. The project provides hands-on science activity kits and training workshops for Girl Scout leaders that assist them in conducting science activities with their troops. The science activities are directly linked to the existing Girl Scout badge program and help Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts (ages 8-11) fulfill science-related badge requirements. Each council/museum partnership will develop a specific program that involves the local underserved populations in Girl Scout science activities. during the three years of federal support, the National Science Partnership will develop a specific program that involves the local underserved populations in Girl Scout science activities. During the three years of federal support, the National Science Partnership will directly serve 11,500 leaders and 138,000 Girl Scouts. Extensive project dissemination will encourage the involvement of new partnerships and the institutionalization of the National Science Partnership by GSUSA, councils, science museums, and other formal education organizations so that the project has the potential to reach the more than 2.3 million Girl Scouts and 780,000 leaders across the United States.
