Scout Programs: Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts
Let us connect your troop to nature in a special way with programs by professional naturalists and acres of wildlife-filled natural areas to explore.
The Nature Center can help your troop do a service project, earn its badges or get ready to go camping! Programs are offered on Tuesday and Friday afternoons and many weekend slots as well.
To register or to receive more information, call Phoebe Atkinson, Education Director, at (216) 321-5935 x 224 or atkinson

Fee is $525 per group, up to 15 scouts. $35 for each additional scout.

Fees cover programming which includes a badge if desired, games, crafts and a night hike as well as all food: a cook-out dinner (weather permitting), an evening snack such as s'mores and a light breakfast. If an indoor "camping" experience is desired, Nature Center tents may be used for no additional fee. Scouts sleep securely indoors in a lovely rustic room with carpeting and close access to a kitchen and restrooms.
CEREMONIES: Ceremonies, such as the Brownie's "Bridging Ceremony," are welcome! If following a badge program, fee is $15 to reserve the lobby as a rain location; free if outside only. For a ceremony not attached to a program, suggested donation $25 for use of outdoor spaces only, including the covered picnic pavilion which must be scheduled in advance.
BOY SCOUTS
This section under construction. Badge programs are in development. Fees will be comparable to the levels above (Cub scouts = Brownies' fees; Boy scouts = Jr. Girl Scouts' fees.) Please don't hesitate to call or write and let us know which badge you are interested in and we can discuss the program! We look forward to helping your troop.
