Girl Scout Badge Program

girlscoutsni-green.png

Preferred Partner

LYDOL is a preferred partner of Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois. We offer a number of fun, convenient workshops for Troops to earn various badges. I've been working with Girl Scout Troops for over 10 years and created the popular workshop program at my former business, Dreams Dance Academy. Building the program was a passion of mine so I am excited to continue offering workshops through LYDOL. Check out the workshop offerings below:

​

  • Toy Business Designer Badge (Daisy)

  • Dancer Badge (Brownie)  We've also done this program for Daisies to earn one of their petals.

  • Budding Entrepreneur Badge (Brownie)

  • Business Jumpstart Badge (Junior)

  • Staying Fit Badge (Junior)

  • Business Creator Badge (Cadette) 

 

Scroll down for workshop details. We can also customize a workshop for you if there is a different badge you're looking to earn that we might be a good fit for to lead a workshop on. We can also hold workshops with multiple Troops (a great way to make new friends). 

 

Location of workshops: Our preferred workshop location is Dreams Dance Academy in St. Charles (must be booked through us, not Dreams). However, we can also come to you as we are a "traveling" workshop (school, house, church, community center - wherever you hold your meetings). 

Workshops can be reserved up to 90 days in advance.

​

Available days and times: Please note the below is general availability, but it can vary by week. When inquiring about a workshop, please provide at least two or three dates for us to look into. No school days are also an option! Thank you.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

  • We ask that the troop leader arrives 10 minutes before workshop time

  • Please tell members to arrive 5 minutes early so we can ensure a timely start. 

  • We do not have room at most locations to accommodate parents, so please remind them this is a drop off/pick up activity. Troop leaders may of course stay.

  • Let parents know to arrive 10 minutes early for a presentation. We love this part and so do the troops!

  • Payment is due before the start of workshop.  Cash, check, or credit/debit

  • If doing the Dancer Badge, dance attire is NOT required. Just any comfortable, easy to move in clothing. No dance shoes needed. Bare feet or socks with grippies (no slip) are fine.
