Ambassador Think Like A Citizen Scientist Journey Award

As of October 1, 2026, Journeys are officially retired. Girl Scouts may still earn Journey awards, but they are no longer being produced and will no longer fulfill the prerequisite requirements for the Highest Awards. We have extremely limited quantities of Journey books and awards available while supplies last.

In this Journey, you will:

1. Find out how citizen scientists make observations, collect data and help scientists conduct scientific research

2. Do 3 observation sessions of a citizen science project from SciStarter

3. Collect data from you community and plan a Take Action project that helps others

If you're a Girl Scout volunteer, go to Volunteer Toolkit for complete meeting plans and activity instructions.

Learn more about how to earn your Take Action Award—and help your community—with the Girl Scout Take Action Guide. Then use your leadership skills to earn your Gold Award!
