Gain experience in team building, critical thinking, public speaking, and the application of knowledge to real world problems. Juniors are introduced to the concept of teamwork and design strategies on engineering projects. Troops will record and discuss ideas inspired by Ranger-led presentations and activities and then apply those ideas when they construct their own bridges that we test for maximum load in a friendly competition.

Parent and Troop Leader: $7 per scout. Girls will earn and receive their Building Bridges badge. After the program has concluded, a free guided tour of Melvin Price Locks and Dam is available. We ask for 1 adult for ever 4 Juniors.
