Cub Scout & Scout BSA Programs at the Nature Center
Roaring Brook Nature Center offers a wide variety of programs that can take place either at the center or at your troop meetings.
The Nature Center has a small interpretive building and 5 miles of hiking trails on about 160 acres of a state-owned wildlife preserve. The Nature Center also offers general seasonal walks or walks with a particular focus (for example birds, reptiles, etc.).
Roaring Brook Nature Center is also a great place to fulfill Community Service Projects, including Eagle Scout Badge requirements!
