Opportunities for Girl/Boy Scouts

  • Badges, Try-it's, belt loops and pins galore! We can help your scouts earn and learn with all kinds of nature-oriented programs. Choose from our diverse On-site or Outreach programs or from the Scouting specific programs listed below.
  • Overnight Programs - go on a night sensory hike, meet live animals and sleep in the Center. A truly unique experience!
  • Service Projects for Eagle and Silver/Gold candidates - Working with Sr. Naturalist Mark Fallon, you can design your own project or work on ongoing efforts around the center. We also have service opportunities for Troop Leaders looking to give back to their community.
