Google has launched a new set of coding badges for Girl Scouts, created through hands-on workshops led by Google volunteers. These badges give girls the chance to learn real-world tech skills in a fun and supportive setting. The program is part of Google’s ongoing effort to help more young people, especially girls, explore careers in technology.

The workshops are designed for different age groups within the Girl Scouts. Each session guides participants through beginner-friendly coding activities. Girls learn how computers think, how to solve problems with code, and how to build simple projects. They work together, ask questions, and try things out without fear of making mistakes.
Google employees run the workshops in person or online, depending on location and need. They share their own experiences in tech and show how coding can be used in many kinds of jobs. The goal is to make tech feel reachable and exciting for every girl who joins.
The new badges cover topics like computer basics, algorithms, and creating digital content. Earning a badge means a girl has completed a series of tasks that build her confidence and understanding. It also gives her something to show for her hard work that she can add to her scouting record.
Girl Scouts across the country can now take part in these workshops through their local councils. Google provides all the materials and training needed so leaders can offer the sessions easily. This removes barriers that might stop some troops from trying tech activities.

The partnership between Google and Girl Scouts aims to close the gender gap in tech fields. By starting early and making learning interactive, both organizations hope to spark lasting interest in science and technology among girls.
