Maple Sugaring Day for Scouts

Jennings Environmental Education Center will host a Maple Sugaring Day for Scouts. This event is for scouts between the ages of 7 and 11. Scouts will participate in a two-hour program that unravels the mystery of how a tree works and demonstrates the art of maple sugaring from past to present. The program will begin indoors and move outside for a guided walk featuring a working evaporator and a taste of spring itself, real maple syrup. It will be offered in the morning from 10 a.m. to noon and again in the afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m. Each participating scout will receive an embroidered patch. 

Cub Scout den leaders and Girl Scout troop leaders must pre-register their scouts for either the morning or afternoon session by calling the Jennings Center at 724-794-2682 or coming in person on Feb. 8 between 8:30 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. The program fee is $2 per person, and space is limited. Scout leaders will need to confirm and pre-pay for an accurate number of registered participants by March 2.
