Girl Scout Badge Programs Our mission is to stimulate awareness and understanding of our planet and to promote a sense of responsiblity and skills for its care. By providing exciting and educational programs for both Boy and Girl Scouts, we hope to encourage a sound base from which the Scouts can appreciate the wonders around them. A fifty percent (50%) deposit is due by the due date listed on the confirmation form. The balance is due the day of the program. For certain programs, we offer to let one adult come along free of charge for every five (5) Scouts who participate. Please note! Unless severe weather threatens, we do go out in the rain! Participants should dress for the weather. If conditions are unsuitable for your group, please call us at least one hour in advance to discuss your options.
