Let's brainstorm business ideas! Join us to come up with solutions to everyday problems and test them out! This program happens over two sessions: the first session is virtual on January 15 where we will cover most of the Business Creator badge, and the second session, The Pitch Challenge, is in-person on March 1 where Girl Scouts will practice talking about (or pitching) their business ideas. The Pitch Challenge will also have fun activities to do while waiting to pitch, mentors from the youth entrepreneurship space, and more! If Girl Scouts cannot attend the second session in-person, there are other options to complete the badge. This program includes a box mailed to the participant’s house with all the supplies needed and the badge earned.

Girl Scout Cadettes earn their Business Creator Badge.

This is an overnight program, and dinner, snacks, and breakfast will be provided.
