Scout Group Field Trip – We would be happy to help you create a program that works for your troop and the set of badges you are trying to earn. Help us out by sharing what tasks need to be completed and we will let you know what we can do here on site. Programs can be scheduled at a time that works for your group
Scout Group Field Trips are set up by scout leaders and will run up to two hours long and are priced based on group size. The cost is:
- $50 for a group of 10 scouts or fewer
- $75 for groups of 11-20 scouts
Program cost must be paid in full at the time of registration.
