Scouting @ Hollywild – March through October, scouts can participate in a variety of activities, including camping, allowing them to earn many different badges! Costs vary depending upon the program selected due to the materials involved. A Hollywild patch is also available.
Hollywild’s scouting program has been growing in the last two years, headed by Linda M. Poole, a former scout leader. Both Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts have been coming to Hollywild to earn a variety of badges. Hollywild offers its own patch as well. From on-site camping opportunities, badge requirements, and an on-site educational picnic area used for scout meetings, Hollywild has made a commitment to serving those who are learning to serve others. Poole works to organize scout programming around each group’s needs, and often books weekend events months in advance. Service projects for all levels including Eagle Scout candidates are available.
Hollywild offers customizable programs that can assist leaders in helping their scouts obtain over 36 badges. Participants are able to earn at least one badge during a given visit in a child friendly, exciting, learning environment. This time is also designed to promote respect for the animals as well as each other.
A recent addition to the programs offered is in the area of equine study. Scouts are often eager to earn their horse badge. The ponies at the park, who offer rides at birthday parties, become models for the study of anatomy and physiology. Riding the ponies as part of the badge requirements is part of the program, with an additional fee of $5 per person.
