Programs for Scouts
We offer these programs for boy scouts, girl scouts and similar youth groups:
- Scout Badge Days, Fall and Spring. Dates are
announced in our Events Calendar. We
offer partial fulfillment of select badges, electives and other
achievements. We focus on the nature-related requirements, and
may leave some of the elements for you to to complete. Programs
are designed to be multi-sensory and hands-on. Indoor and outdoor
activities encourage scouts to explore the natural world.
Reservations are made by troops, rather than individuals. Badges are selected on a first-come-first-serve basis. We may group together several smaller troops working on the same badge. Registration is required, and full payment for all scouts is required at the time of registration. Badge Day programs are two hours. Cost is $5.00 per scout; payment is required in full at the time of reservation.
Badges offered include:
Daisy or Tiger: Programs upon request
Brownies:
- Outdoor Adventurer
- Water Everywhere
- Eco-Explorer
Wolf: Arrow Point #13 Birds
Bear: Sharing Your World With Nature
Junior Girls:
- Earth Connections Badge

These following senior level programs are scheduled separately from the above badges; individuals or troops can register. Watch the events calendar for announcements:
Boy Scout: Bird Merit Badge
Senior/Cadettes Girls: All About Birds
- Special Scout Events. For example, our
public programs for Maple Sugaring and Creatures of the Night
have designated scout days. We occasionally offer additional
special topics for scouts as well. These events are announced in
our Events Calendar.
- Public Programs. Scout troops may register
for any of our family oriented public programs announced in our
Events Calendar. Please call at least
one week in advance so that we can plan for the extra numbers.
All scouts and chaperones registering as a group pay the
non-member fee, if a fee is charged.
- Birds of Prey programs for small assemblies of 40 people or less at a time. This program will travel to your facility.
