Scouting Saturday – Animals!
Saturday, February 15th, 1:15 PM – 2:00 PM OR 2:15 PM – 3:00 PM
We are excited to announce our second Scouting Saturday event! Scouts looking to earn their animal-themed badges, look no further and join us for an afternoon learning about wild animals and their unique habitats. There will be a live animal presentation from Eyes of the Wild. Scouts will also be given a take home craft and an activity booklet to do with their troop or enjoy on their own. This event is for scouts (ages 5 & up) looking to earn their animal related badges. Please note, this event will be held indoors; space is limited. All registered scout troops will need to provide their COLI form prior to the event.
Fee: $12 per scout, $10 per leader/adult chaperone (minimum 2 chaperones per troop)
Reservation requests open on January 15th HERE. Once a request is submitted you will be sent a payment link. When requests are full, please email kelsey@montclairfoundation.org to be put on the waitlist.
