Our program meets the requirements for the Webelo Cub Scout Naturalist badge and the Junior Girl Scout Science in Everyday Life badge. Weekend programs begin April, 2009. The cost per Scout is $3.50 per child with a limited number of free adults. Register your den or troup today by calling (636) 530-0076, ext. 13. |
