Girl Scout Brownies: Hiker

With over seven miles of trails that are home to a wide variety of plants and animals, the Kensington Metropark Nature Area is the perfect place to earn your Brownies Hiker Badge. For this program, we’ll have fun learning how to be prepared for a safe and enjoyable hike. Scouts will get to make an outdoor plan and choose their own trail, gain some new trail skills, learn how to select the appropriate gear, and make a healthy trail snack. We’ll hit the mixed gravel nature trails to put our new knowledge to the test. To accommodate for our current Covid-19 precautions, some portions of this program will be done virtually from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Our in-person, entirely outside (rain or shine) portion of the program will meet in front of the nature center. Social distancing and face coverings are required.
