For Saturday July 11, all Atlanta Community Ambassador events will be moved to the Battery, and rewards will not be active in the usual locations. For Sunday July 12, all events will be held as normal at your local community venue.
The Battery is a mixed-use venue with restaurants, shops and other indoor areas in close proximity, so we believe it will be a good option for play during the summer weather. Due to World Cup Soccer many of our usual Atlanta-area venues and parks are also unavailable during this time period.
If you are driving we recommend parking at the Scouting Council parking deck at 1800 Circle 75 Parkway Atlanta, GA 30339 as we have negotiated a special parking rate for Celebration attendees of $22.50 a day! We recommend booking in advance as we do expect this rate to sell out.
For the special $20 deal (+ $2.50 processing fee) please book through the following link only.
This deal will only apply to the first 200 vehicles who book. For other parking decks near The Battery, please make sure you check the parking rates before visiting.
