Girl Scout Badge Weekends

The Girl Scout badge weekends are offered each spring and fall to Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes and Seniors at Sharpe Reservation. These all-inclusive weekends include lodging in our heated cabins, four meals provided by our dining service and full instructions by our professional Environmental Educators. The cost per girl is $68, leaders are $48. One leader is admitted free for each troop, two leaders free for Brownies. A deposit of $30 is required to secure a reservation per attendee and is refundable up to two weeks prior to the event. A confirmation packet will be sent upon receipt of deposit with the registration form.

A typical badge weekend begins with an 8:00 am Saturday morning registration in the Dining Hall. Classes begin at 9:15 am once all troops are registered and have time to move into assigned cabins and enjoy a buffet breakfast. After-dinner programming includes entertaining songs and campfire skits performed by each attending troop. The weekend concludes by 11:00 am on Sunday.

Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please click here to find the registration forms. For more information, please call the Nature Center at Sharpe Reservation at (845) 896-5910 or email tsmith@freshair.org.
