• Girl Scout Science Fair Application

    Did you complete a STEM badge this year that you’d like to share? Are you working on a STEM-focused high award that you want to present to a group? Or maybe you did a cool project for school that other Girl Scouts would find interesting!

  • By signing below, I acknowledge that I'm applying to be part of the Girl Scout Science Fair on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at the Cobb County Civic Center.  I understand that my application may be approved or denied, with final confirmation on December 11, 2024.
