Join our Merit Badge Counselors at the Nature Center for an exciting opportunity to work toward your Environmental Science Merit Badge!

This program is designed to help Scouts explore the natural world and understand how human activities affect the environment. We’ll investigate ecosystems, biodiversity, natural resources, pollution, conservation, and environmental sustainability while learning how scientists study environmental challenges.

Scouts will participate in hands-on activities and observations while discovering ways to reduce our impact on the environment and protect the natural world. You’ll learn how environmental science connects to our communities, daily lives, and the future of our planet.

Come ready to explore, investigate, and have fun as we discover the science behind a healthy environment!

Registration is required in advance. Limited spaces available – sign up early to secure your spot!

Check-in will begin at 10:00 AM with the Badge session starting at 10:10 AM.
