Join us to learn about local aquatic wildlife! The Oak Brook
chapter of Trout Unlimited (OBTU) will
host STREAM Girls, a STEM + Recreation and Arts program designed to
explore waterways and the surrounding ecosystem. Every person is a
citizen of their watershed, and Cadette Girl Scouts can learn what it
means to them. Participants will interact with Camp Dean's Welch Creek
and pond as scientists, anglers, and artists. Through multiple
activities, they will better understand the importance of waterways
and the role they can play in conserving natural resources.
Location: Camp Dean
Time: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Cost:
Free
Register by: July 8, 2026.
During this
program, participants will observe water sources and the surrounding
areas, sample aquatic macroinvertebrates, and try fly casting and
fishing. Girl Scouts need to bring a sack lunch. All equipment will be
provided. STREAM Girls completes most of the requirements for the
Cadette Think Like a Citizen Scientist Badges. Questions? Contact OBTU
