Nature

The Nature Area features a variety of animals and displays for Scouts to observe. Scouts of all ages benefit from a wide range of merit badges peaking almost any natural interest. Several of the sessions take field trips to places such as the Lumber Mill, or the Granite Quarry in Mt. Airy. Adult leaders that can help with transportation for these trips are greatly appreciated. In addition to merit badges, the Nature Area hosts a guided Knob Hike, a frog hunt, and some other special programs in the evening.
