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.
