Girl Scouts Can Now Earn Badges in STEM-Related Fields STEM-related fields include science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The Girl Scouts are rolling out 30 new badges in these disciplines for girls ages 5 to 18. The news of the badges was announced in November 2017 in an effort to reduce the gender gap in those fields. The badges will require efforts in the areas of cybersecurity, robotics, computer science, space exploration and the environment.
