Girl Scouts - Brownie Program
Description
Please choose from one of the following Brownie programs:
Bugs Badge:
Brownies will engage in hands-on activities to learn about bugs; visit a special insect that lives here at the Arboretum; and take a hike to hunt for bugs.
Hiker Badge:
Brownies will learn how to plan for a hike, talk about some essential items to pack, and then hike on the Arboretum's woodland trails to put our knowledge to the test.
Outdoor Adventurer Badge:
Brownies will discover what it means to be an explorer by going on a hike, playing outdoor games, and learning new camping skills.
Senses Badge:
Brownies will explore the Arboretum using their 5 senses and find out about the plants and animals that live here. Along the way, they will discover seasonal changes, animal signs, plant textures, and more! We’ll learn about the ways in which our own senses compare to those of the creatures that live here.
Badges involving cooking have separate guidelines and fee schedules. Please send us an email to inquire about these.
Cost: Scout programs are $100 for 12 or fewer scouts, then $5 per person for each additional scout.
