Schedule a Nature-Based Scout Program Is your scout troop working toward earning a Nature Badge? The City of Dublin can help! We offer small group programs led by our Nature Education Coordinator, Barbara Ray, designed specifically to meet badge requirements. We work with your group to design a customized program focused on ecology, conservation, wildlife stewardship and supporting related badgework. Our city parks are our preferred classrooms, providing the ideal setting for nature-based learning, but we can tailor programs to fit your group’s schedule and needs. To provide the best experience possible, we ask scout leaders to contact us at least one month in advance to allow adequate time for our team to coordinate the logistics of the program. For more information on available topics and opportunities, visit: DublinOhioUSA.gov/recreation-services/parks/nature-education To schedule your scout program, contact: Rachel Keitz Recreation Coordinator rkeitz@dublin.oh.us We’ll take care of the details and schedule our Nature Education Coordinator, Barbara Ray, to guide your troop through a fun and educational experience. Group flat rate: $50 (10 or fewer scouts) $75 (11 or more scouts)
