Girl Scouts

girl scout programs

CNC offers programs for Girl Scouts of all ages. Take part in one of our 1½ hour programs where scouts work on badges or journeys. Each program will involve the scouts in hands-on activities in the outdoors and will include a visit with one of our non-releasable animals. Or take part in one of our Daisy, Brownie, or Junior scout night experiences where we work on badge components and experience nature at night, under the stars.

Scout information

All CNC programs strictly adhere to the badge guidelines as outlined in the official scout handbooks. CNC naturalists will attempt to complete as many requirements as possible for each badge. In some cases, your group’s punctuality and cooperation may dictate how many of the requirements will need to be completed at home.

Badge programs not listed may be available with the approval of the Scout Coordinator. Please use the form below or call 770-992-2055 ext. 249. A customization fee may be required.

Everyone should arrive 10-15 minutes before your starting time so that the program may begin promptly as scheduled. Unless otherwise instructed, please meet your group at the Scheduling Office Porch.

If you are planning to have a snack prior to your program, please be sure to allow enough time to eat, clean up and be ready to meet your naturalist in the plaza 10 minutes before your scheduled time. Picnic areas are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Programs are rain or shine. If it is raining, please bring rain gear. Every attempt will be made to go on the hike. If not, indoor activities will be provided to complete the badge requirements.

The scout badge is not included and is not available to purchase at the CNC. You may purchase a CNC patch for a discounted price on the day of your program in our Nature Store. You will receive a coupon from your Scout naturalist.
