Hands on Learning and Discovery

Multi-sensory, educational, and most of all, fun!

Our programs are designed to be an addition to our community and provide a safe space to never stop learning.

Girl Scout Junior Badges

Girl Scout Juniors can work toward a badge at our Scout Workshops located in Chattanooga, Tenn. We will take care of all the details.

Girl Scout Brownie Badge

During a lock-in, a Brownie Girl Scout can complete some or most requirements for one Brownie Badge. Check out the options for your group!

Webelo Activity Badge

During a lock-in, Scouts have the opportunity to complete the requirements for a badge. All Scouts participate in the same activity.

My kids LOVE this place! They have so much fun exploring and their brains are totally absorbing everything as they play.
