Hosted by Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana's Associate Board, Smart Cookies Badge Bash will take place at Chicago Cultural Center in Downtown Chicago from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, September 17, 2026.
This cocktail reception event raises funds that directly support the girls in our council. The event will showcase girls’ leadership abilities as well as the many unique opportunities and badges that are offered through Girl Scouts.
Featuring 6-8 girl-led booths, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in hands on activities led by girls and receive a patch from each booth they visit. There will also be an open bar, food stations, DJ, dancing, silent auction and so much more!
