From brownies to eagles, the Utah Botanical Center and Utah House offer several programs which teach boy and girl scouts about the world around them while helping them earn badges. For most of the Merit Badge Workshops that we offer, all of the requirements for the badge are completed during the one-day workshop. To sign up for a Scout Merit Badge Workshop, please contact Jayne mulford at 801-544-3089 or jayne.mulford@usu.edu

Each pack contains enough supplies for 10-12 scouts to share. Leader-directed activities take 30 minutes to an hour. Adventure Packs can be checked out Monday - Friday 1-5pm & Saturday 10am-2pm.
