Uniquely Us Badge Workshop Presented by the Sanxtuary STEAM Foundation
Puberty Pop-Up for girls Ages 8-14. Earn the Uniquely Us Badge while building confidence for life's next adventure!
Growing up is an exciting adventure, and every girl deserves to feel confident, informed, and supported along the way.
Join us for the Girl Scouts Puberty Pop-Up, an interactive, physician-led workshop designed specifically for Girl Scouts ages 8-14. Through hands-on activities, games, and open conversations, girls will learn about puberty in a fun, positive, and age-appropriate environment while building confidence, developing healthy habits, and celebrating what makes them unique.
