Programs for Scouts

Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary

Scout Programs

If you have a group of Scouts (girls or boys) the Sanctuary offers personally designed programs for your group. Programs are held on weekends, occasionally on weekdays. These are just an idea of the requirements we offer. We are more than willing to work with you to arrange a program to meet your interests and needs!

To Schedule a Scout Program

We do not enroll scouts in our general public programs--separate scout programs are offered on a limited basis, so make your reservations BEFORE advertising the program to your group.

Complete the Application form. Include as many date choices as possible.

A staff naturalist will contact you regarding date availability
Program content and details will be discussed at that time and/or during a planning session.
A program contract will be mailed indicating the date and program choice
The program will be confirmed once the contract is signed by the leader and returned

A typical program lasts about 2 hours, but groups may extend their visit with a self-led hike through the Sanctuary. Picnic tables are available.
Programs are held on the weekend, outdoors, rain or shine, and may be scheduled year round. Some weekdays are available.
Scout Program Fees: $1.00 per child (siblings included). No fee for accompanying adults and chaperones.
Maximum group size: 20 people (children and adults); one adult chaperone required for every six children.
Adults and siblings are expected to be active participants in the program. Siblings may attend, but should be of the age appropriate to the activities.
