Girl Scout Interest Projects and Badge Program
While most people know the Louisiana Renaissance Festival as a fun and exciting weekend event, most people don't know the high level of community service opportunities that we offer. We have been working with Kevin Shipp and Allison Pastor at the Girl Scout Council to determine how we can use our resources to help Girl Scouts accomplish some specific merit badge opportunities.
For additional information on any of these programs, please contact Rick Hight at Rick@larf.org or call 985-429-9992.
Advance Reservations Required
We will need you to make reservations for your Girl Scouts to attend these three opportunities so we know how many girls will be attending each event, or you can contact Rick Hight at rick@larf.org or (985) 429-9992 x203.

The Junior and Brownie training classes will be both be held on Saturday September 13th at the Renaissance Festival site. Training will be $10 per Girl Scout, with no charge for Leaders and parents who would like to attend.
For Juniors
We are inviting you to join our cast members at one of our cast training workshops where we will cover all of the items needed for the "Theater" badge. Our cast specializes in “Improv”, which is acting without a script. Our cast receives more than 50 hours of training each year, and many of them are ‘On Stage’ each year during our show for more than 100 hours.
This section of our workshop is open to all ages, but is targeted towards the Junior Girl Scout badges. The cost for the workshop is $10 per girl and reservations must be made in advance. Each girl will receive a ticket to the Renaissance Festival in November so they can fulfill the “See It Live” requirement. We will have a limited number of slots available, so early registration is highly recommended.
