Girl Scouts Badges
Spend a day with your troop learning about theatre, playing games, dressing up as spooky witches, making root beer floats, and earning badges.
We fit your schedule! Suggest a couple days that you think your troop can get together. We’re happy to meet on a weekday when schools are out!
Earn two Junior patches in one day!
THEATRE (make your own)
Warm up your body, stretch your imagination, & create a scene! This badge is a Traveling Players exclusive!
Playing the Past
Dream up a character and get ready to live history!
Spend a creative and fun-filled day with your troop playing theatre games and leave with TWO new badges on your vest!
The day starts with warm ups and theatre games, as you learn about acting and improv. Then, build on those new skills to do acting scenes about witches, design your own characters, and take a bunch of spooky photos around a foggy cauldron!
Theatre is all about bonding and team building! Scouts will leave with fun memories and a better appreciation of all members of their troop.
Girl Scouts will develop skills in improv, acting, theatrical design (costume & sets), and text analysis, while playing with fun theatrical special effects and learning about history! Scouts will leave with two new badges.
Traveling Players programs always offer expert training in acting, character development, improvisation, and text analysis. We also value the spirit of the ensemble. Our ensemble- and team-building adventures help create a strong, supportive troop and friendships that will last a lifetime.
Theatre
This badge is a certified Girl Scout make-your-own badge, including the certificate! The make-your-own badge program is now discontinued, so you can’t get this badge anywhere else. It’s a Traveling Players exclusive!
Playing The Past
This fun junior badge is a great way to get your troop engaged and thinking about characters in history. Earn this badge by learning about the history of witches and designing your own witch character!
