Bring Your Troop to PEEC
The Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) offers a variety of classes and activities that will help fulfill requirements for environmental and outdoor scout badges.
A day or weekend program at PEEC can be individually designed to meet each scout troop's needs. In addition to badgework, troops can add activities such as team building, challenge courses, or a campfire.
Scout Program Discounts!
PEEC offers discounts for scout groups that schedule programs outside our Badge Fests or Scout Weekends.
Our instructors love teaching outdoor, nature, and environmental badgework and programs. We also have several Merit Badge Counselors on staff who are available to teach badges and sign blue cards.
