Attention Scouts
Experience the Challenge of Nature at PEEC
Do your Scouts need a good place to fulfill their badge requirements? The Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) offers a variety of classes and activities that will fulfill most, if not all, the necessary requirements for scout badges.

A day or weekend program at PEEC will be individually designed to meet your scout troop's needs.

After all the "necessary" classes are completed, why not add a few fun activities such as swimming in the indoor pool, team and individual challenge courses or a campfire?
