Scout Activities

On Saturdays during the winter and spring of 2006 Impression 5 will be offering several events geared towards both Girl and Boy Scout troops. Each activity is specially designed with several activities needed to satisfy the requirements for one badge.

Reservations are required for your scout troop to participate. To make a reservation please call the Reservations Office at Impression 5 a (517) 485-8116 ext 32. We recommend one adult chaperone for every six scouts. Programs are limited to 60 Scouts each. The cost varies by age group.

Scouts are also welcome to schedule a regular Group Visit or Overnight Adventure! While these are not designed to fulfill any badge requirements, they are a terrific way to spend a day or evening having fun with science!
