Scout Programs

Dauphin County Parks and Recreation embraces the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America. Our program educates scouts about nature and the environment. We encourage all scouts to look into our programs and workshops for different levels. We offer a variety of programs on topics such as wonderful water, night owl, animals, plants and bugs. We do not accept requests for troop or pack specific programs.

Programs & Badges: Designed to address the badges, skills and interests of multiple levels of scouts. Open to all scout troops or packs in the appropriate scout level.

Chaperones: Due to space, please limit the number of adults staying with the scouts during the program, to those required by your organization. Please let us know the number of chaperones.

Times: Will vary with the program.

Bring: Please bring a simple snack, drink, and lunch.

Dress: Scouts should wear closed-toed shoes and clothes suitable for indoor and outdoor activities.

Fee: $12.00 per scout (for most programs). Leaders are responsible for obtaining badges and awards.

 

Upcoming Programs

Girl Scouts: Outdoor Art (all levels)

Saturday, May 31  from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

The sights and sounds of nature inspire music, engineering and art! In this Outdoor Art Girl Scout program, scouts are invited to meet and work with an artist, take a hike to explore designs in nature and then, create their own art as they fulfill requirements for their appropriate badge. Scouts will also examine and discuss Art In The Wild installations crafted by artists and organizations along our trails and contribute to a new all-scout, upcycled bottle-cap mural to be displayed at Wildwood Park. Please bring a drink, snack and lunch. Dress for indoor and outdoor activities in clothes that may get dirty and wear sneakers or other closed-toed shoes. Space is limited. Pre-registration required.
