Plans are underway for Lafayette’s third Girl Scout Badge Day! This event would not be possible without the incredible students, faculty, and staff who share their time and expertise to lead badges and help Girl Scouts in grades K-12 learn coding, robotics, space science, art and design, College Knowledge, and more.

The planning committee is looking for additional volunteers (departments, clubs, or individuals) who are interested in leading or assisting with a badge for the Nov. 2026 event. Please reach out to Kelly Huth if you’re interested in leading a badge.
