Maple Sugaring for Scouts- PM Session

2951 Prospect Rd., Slippery Rock, PA 16057-5023

Free Event

**Important- When registering, please include your Troop/Den Number under "Additional Information we Need to Know."

Scouts (ages 7-11) will participate in a two-hour program that demonstrates the art of maple sugaring from past to present and explains how and why the process works. The program will begin indoors with a presentation that unravels the mystery of how trees function, and considers the many benefits they provide. The presentation is followed by a guided, outdoor walk featuring a working evaporator and a taste of spring itself, real maple syrup. Maple products from a local producer will be available in Jennings’ gift shop for optional purchases. This maple sugaring program will be offered in the afternoon from 1:00 PM- 3:00 PM. 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. Register to the right or by calling Jennings at 724-794-2682.  If registering online be sure you are registering for either AM or PM session. Space is limited for this very popular program, and very often fills up on this first registration day!

The program fee is $2.00 per person (scout leaders are free). Scout leaders will need to confirm and pre-pay for an accurate number of registered participants by February 22.  Payment form will be emailed after registration.  Registration is not complete until payment is received.
