BROWNIES - BUG BADGE
Location: Rural Homestead Butterfly Garden
​​Explore the world of bugs looking for their homes, hideaways, and interacting with live specimens. 
Learn the difference between a bug and an insect. Using a small notepad or some paper, make a bug journal. You can use your bug journal to take notes, draw pictures and make observations while earning this badge. Pick a bug or insect and make an informational poster, including a hand- drawn picture of the bug or insect; where it lives; how long it lives; what it eats; what is good about it/what it not so good; and who its enemies are.
Take pictures of the butterflies and share on Instagram!
