Scout Badge Workshops
Now at Fox Valley Repertory, Scouts can earn merit badges through these unique and exciting programs! Workshops are conducted by an experienced theatre professional, and can be scheduled at your convenience. Although we have developed programs for each Scout level, we are happy to adjust them to accommodate your individual needs. Actual badges not included.  

Proceeds fund FVR Performing Arts Academy scholarships for underprivileged children in our area.  All workshops take place at Pheasant Run Resort.  Advance registration required.

 Scouts can enroll individually for scheduled events or create an event for their Troupe!

PAA is proud to have experienced, top quality instructors who are professionals in their fields.  See Instructor Profiles for more information.

To enroll, fill out an application form and return it with a check prior to the day of the workshop.
