Brownie Think Like A Programmer Award Badge

In this Journey, you will:

1. Find out how programmers use computational thinking to solve problems.
2. Do 3 computational thinking activities: find out about paper programming; create a functional suncatcher to explore algorithms, variables, and functions; and create a personal innovation to discover rapid prototyping.
3. 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.

Updates are on the horizon.

Journeys will officially retire on October 1, 2026—but leadership opportunities for Brownies are here to stay! Brownies can continue to grow as leaders through badges and service projects that encourage them to lead with kindness, make a difference, and build confidence along the way. Ready to get started?
