Scout Programs

Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission offers programs designed to be educational and hands-on to help Scouts earn badges. 

Depending on the program, Scouts may complete all or only some of requirements needed to earn a pin/patch/badge. Programs can be scheduled in any of our County Parks (though some program topics are restricted to certain parks) and are available year round.

Listed below are the badges we offer. Don't see a program for a badge you are looking for? Reach out to us via our program request form and we'll get back to you.
