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.
