Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts

The Richland County Park District and Gorman Nature Center facilitate a number of badges and achievement goals for both girl scouts and boy scouts from March-December. We also offer enrichment programs during the winter on a limited basis. Information on types of programs we offer for various levels of both groups are listed below.

Please note that we are not able to cover every badge requirement, so troops are expected to do necessary preparations before coming to GNC, or to finish after their visit.
