Girl Scout Badge Program: Inside Government
Overview
The Bartow History Museum will host Inside Government, a Girl Scout badge program designed to introduce participants to the structure and function of American government as part of the museum’s America 250 initiative, commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary through hands-on educational experiences.
Have you ever wondered how government works or why laws are created? In this interactive program, Girl Scouts will explore local, state, and national government, learning about civic responsibility, voting, and the role of citizens in shaping their communities.
Participants will also have the opportunity to interview a local official and gain firsthand insight into how government operates in everyday life. Designed to fulfill badge requirements, this program encourages civic engagement, critical thinking, and active participation in democracy, while connecting the foundations of American government to its modern-day functions.
