Kopernik hopes to restart Girl Scots Programs in 2021. We are conferring with local and state officials to determine when it will be safe to restart our programs.
The Kopernik Observatory & Science Center welcomes Girl Scouts for badge and petal workshops and overnight experiences.
Specific badge and petal workshops are offered periodically. See below for current schedule and registration form. Workshops can be arranged on other dates to meet troop needs. In addition, Kopernik offers kits that troops can use at Kopernik to complete badges on their own, with all supplies included.
Is there another topic in science, technology, engineering or math that interests your troop? Kopernik probably can offer a workshop on that topic – call 607-748-3685 to inquire.
The Girl Scout programs at Kopernik have been designed by local Girl Scouts and Girl Scout leaders to meet most, and often all of the official requirements for particular Girl Scout badges and petals. Kopernik does not supply the actual badges, however, leaving that to the Girl Scout troop leaders’ discretion.
Overnight programs feature an indoor sleepover in Kopernik’s heated (and air-conditioned) building or outdoor campout on Kopernik’s grounds, and typically include a snack, late night movie, telescope viewing and stargazing (weather permitting), and continental breakfast.
Badge programs offered include Home Scientist (Brownie), Senses (Brownie), Computer Expert (Brownie), Entertainment Technology (Junior), Detective (Junior), Special Agent (Cadette), Night Owl (Cadette), Sky (Senior). Badge kits are available for Senses (Brownie) and Computer Expert (Brownie).
 Kopernik is offering the Space Science Adventurer badge workshop for Brownies on Saturday, April 6 at 7 PM, with optional overnight. Email GirlScouts@kopernik.org for more information. Additional activities for the Space Science Investigator badge could be added if Junior troops are interested.
