Scout Classes
Beyond the Badge.
As a Girl Scout alum whose cookie sales first sparked my entrepreneurial spirit, I design programs that help troops earn Cooking badges and Mental Wellness patches through hands-on, joy-filled experiences. Scouts don’t just check a box — they stir, taste, laugh, and learn together, turning every requirement into a real adventure. With 29 years of experience, I know how to blend skill-building with teamwork and confidence so every troop leaves with more than a badge — they leave with memories.
Beyond the Badge
Badges are earned, but real skills are learned. In our kitchen, Scouts discover how cooking connects creativity, confidence, and teamwork. They walk away with more than a patch - they carry skills for life.
​
Teamwork on the Menu
Cooking together isn’t just about recipes - it’s about trust, collaboration, and laughter. Scouts learn how to share responsibility, support one another, and celebrate success, one dish at a time.
​
Confidence They Can Carry
When Scouts measure, stir, and taste, they realize they’re capable of more than they thought. By earning their Cooking badges and Mental Wellness patches through hands-on practice, they leave with pride that sticks long after the apron comes off.
