Daisy's, Brownies, Juniors, and Cadettes, along with their Troop Leaders and caregivers, are invited to take part in a super fun and educational event at the GSWPA's Building in Johnstown!! This two-hour "DNA how it functions in nature" class will be led by University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown's Professor of Biology, Jill Henning, who has a PhD in Infectious Diseases.
Discussions before and after each experiment will be had to better understand what happened during each step and why, and how it pertains to Biology.
Each Girl Scout will also receive a Science Fun Patch!

Location: Johnstown, PA

Daisy's, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, and their Troop leaders and caregivers are invited to get hands on experience by making your own DNA beaded necklace. In the process, you will better understand what exactly DNA is and how it functions in nature. The discussions will be relatable to the girls by explaining what color pairings in the beads represent.

Mark your calendars to attend as pre-registration is required!
