This just looks like a great opportunity for awesome outside-the-classroom learning experiences and mentorship. I benefited hugely from various opportunities like this when I was young, but those were all based around local institutions versus the kind of broad-reaching impact that a Girl Scout badge can have. I can easily see some girls looking over the list of badges, seeing this one, thinking "that's awesome, I want that one" and working to make it happen themselves. Beautiful.
