Scout Programs

We offer programs designed to help Girl Scout troops fulfill some of the requirements needed to complete badges. Our interactive and educational good-food programs help scouts and leaders learn about nutrition while having fun! Our programs are taught by a team of educators led by a Registered Dietitian.

We provide Girl Scout programs that align with the Girl Scout mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. We have programs to help all levels of Girl Scouts. Our program topics include environmental responsibility, nutrition, and cooking skills. Ask about incorporating our Harvest of the Month snack into your program!

We believe that good-food nutrition education is important because the more that individuals know about their food, the more likely they are to make more wholesome food choices.

Base pricing: $20/scout, $200 minimum, Duration 1.5 hours. At least two Scout Leaders must be present for the entirety of the program. All programs include a light, nutritious, snack component. Ask us about additional pricing for more complex lunch or dinner meals.

Below is a sample of some of the badges we can help with. Staff can work with Girl Scout leaders to accomplish components of additional badges. Nourish can offer subsidies to support groups that qualify so that everyone has access to Nourish’s programs. Contact us to find out more about subsidy options or submit the form below.
