Girl Scout Programs at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education

Whether your troop is working towards a badge or just looking for a fun program, our 340 acres of trails and habitats is the place to go. In each program, experienced environmental educators will use hands-on activities and guided hikes to teach scouts about the natural world.

Please see below for program offerings. If you are interested in a program that is not listed, please let us know and we will try our best to accommodate.

To schedule a program for your scout troop, please read the registration information below and contact our registrar at beatrice@schuylkillcenter.org or 215-853-6249.
