The Crystal Lake Park District Nature Center offers a variety of programs for scouts. We educate thousands of Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts each year about the natural world. If you are a scout leader please contact us at (815)455-1763 for information about how we can work with you and your scouts.
Scout leaders can arrange programs through the Nature Center to create a hands-on approach to nature for their scouts. We currently offer over 90 program topics for Girl Scouts and more than 60 for Cub Scouts. To book your badge program call the Nature Center at (815)455-1763. And remember, evening hours are available.
