Scout Programs
Tyler Arboretum is pleased to provide opportunities for scouts to learn about natural living systems through use of the Arboretum’s diverse resources. The Scout Program provides field trips for scout groups which may be scheduled on weekends, after school and on school holidays.
Join one of our educators while exploring the various habitats and gardens of the Arboretum; these programs are hands-on and a fun way to earn part or the entire badge! Programs are held after school and on weekends and range from one hour to 1 ½ hours. The cost is $25 for a group of 5 or less and $5.00 for each additional scout.
