Customized group programs for outdoor learning and skills development

Our Scout Programs include hands-on activities and an outdoor hike to meet some or all the requirements to earn pins and badges. Programs are scheduled after-school and on Saturdays. If you don't see a program you're interested in listed below, it doesn't mean the program isn't available, just ask!

Programs for the Whole Family: Schedule a family fun night or weekend program for the entire Pack or Troop. Night Hikes are popular year-round or try a Peeper Prowl in the spring. Owl Prowls and snowshoeing are available in the winter.

To register, see the registration information near the bottom of this page. For more information and questions, including Eagle Scouts or groups looking for a conservation project, contact Bent of the River Audubon Center at bentoftheriver@audubon.org or 203-264-5098.
