It’s Badge Frenzy Time! Kick-off the new Girl Scout membership year at this high energy program, where you’ll earn up to 3 badges!   

Join us for a fun-filled, badge-earning-day at Heritage Pointe Park in Dalton from 9:30 am – 3:00 pm.  The program is open to current Kindergarten – Fifth Grade (Daisy, Brownie, & Junior) Girl Scouts AND anyone who is interested in joining Girl Scouts of the same age.

Through hosted activities, participants will be able to earn at least three Girl Scout Badges over the course of the day with programs supported by the Booth Museum, Dalton State University, and the Tellus Museum!  Bring your own SWAPS for the SWAP Exchange, make new friends, and start the year off with a blast (learn about SWAPs here)!  During the program, you’ll enjoy the following badges:

 

Daisies (K – 1st graders) 

Brownies and Juniors (2nd – 5th graders)
  • Friendly and Helpful Petal
  • Craft and Tinker Badge*
  • Space Science Badge
  • First Aid Badge
  • Craft and Tinker Badge*
  • Space Science Badge

*These badges are NEW this year!  Officially launched in July 2023!

*Some follow-up is required to earn some badges!  We’ll send along instructions to complete the last few pieces at home!

Naturally, included in the cost of registration, we’ll have either a photographer/video to capture these stellar moments and we’ll include a light lunch for all of our participants!  Remember to arrive on-time, wear a Girl Scout uniform or t-shirt if you have one, and dress for the weather!  The program is rain or shine.

Thanks to our amazing and generous sponsors of this event, the cost of this program has been reduced to $20.00 and includes lunch. The real cost of this program is $40.00 for all attendees and includes engaging curriculum-driven activities, all supplies for the program at appropriate ratios, and light refreshments.  The badges are not included in the event cost but can be purchased at the Badge & Sash store.

This is NOT a drop-off event. Parents, Troop Leaders, and guardians must remain with their Girl Scouts for the duration of the event.

Due to the nature of this program, adults need to purchase a ticket for themselves and any additional adults or siblings that will be in attendance. (Adult and sibling tickets also include lunch.) Adults will have an opportunity to engage in the program experience alongside their Girl Scouts, helping to reinforce new concepts, learning, exploration, and development.  We encourage you to be ENGAGED, let your GIRL SCOUT take the LEAD, and HAVE FUN!
