Wildlands naturalists can guide your troop through many badge requirements and can frequently accomplish all of the expected requirements within 1 1/2 hours.  The cost for on-site presentations are listed below.  Please note:  The acquisition of badges is the responsibility of the troop leader, not Wildlands Conservancy.

Badge Days

Badge Days at PWS are offered periodically throughout the year and are advertised in the passport book mailed from the Girl Scout Council.  Advance registration is required and girls receive the badge at the end of the program.

Wildlands Conservancy staff can bring the wildlife to you in a fun and interactive wildlife presentation at your Blue and Gold Banquet.  Our wildlife menagerie includes a variety of insects, snakes, lizards, turtles, owls, and even a skunk!  The cost for a 45 minute presentation is $200 plus mileage (prevailing federal rate), and is often the highlight of the event. 

Wildlands Conservancy also offers rental of its educational building (capacity 100) and outdoor pavilion for banquets and large functions.  For additional information or to make reservations please contact Maureen Ruhe, Director of Education, at (610) 965-4397 ext. 36 or via e-mail.

Pool Wildlife Sanctuary offers a variety of opportunities for interested and self-motivated eagle scouts.  Potential projects range from construction of animal enclosures and storage facilities to landscaping and trail maintenance. 

Wildlands Conservancy has a number of fun and interesting activities for scouts and their families.  Potential activities include: tubing, night hikes, South Mountain GPS scavenger hunts, wildlife presentations, camping, bike trips through the Lehigh Gorge, amphibian searches and vernal pool explorations, wildlife viewing, stream searched, and much, much more.   

Information about our family programming can be found in our education calendar.
