Scout Badge & Achievement Programs

The Bartlett Nature Center provides an excellent setting for nature related and hands on work areas for Cub Scout and Girl Scout activities. The programs listed offer scouts the opportunity to explore and experience nature while completing the activities required for earning each achievement or badge. Programs are led by trained staff, and will combine games with hands on activities.

All programs are scheduled on a first come first served basis . Programs will be held rain or shine unless cancelled by the Park District. Be sure to dress for the weather, as all programs may have an outdoor segment, barring weather extremes.
