The Arboretum offers a variety of programs for both Cub Scout and Girl Scout groups. In these fun, interactive programs, we will explore the gardens and learn about environmental stewardship while fostering empathy for all nature’s creatures. Programs include gardening, science, the legacy of trees, outdoor art, environmental education, guided tours, evening garden explorations, and overall outdoor adventuring to complete goals towards different badges, with unique activities available for each age group. Customized programs are considered and available on a case by case basis. Programs fulfill badge requirements only- Physical badges are not provided.
