SCOUT MAPLE DAYS 3/2/10

Hour-long hikes begin promptly at 4:30 p.m. at the sugar house.Maple Sugaring Days for Scouts programs delve into the science and lore of turning watery sap into sweet maple syrup. Each program includes a guided exploratory hike in the sugarbush, a look into the Native-American origins of sugaring, and a culminating visit to the sugar house. Scouts will be able to tap a tree with a hand drill, help with sugaring work and sample warm maple syrup right off the evaporator. Dress in layers, and dress to keep your feet warm. Whatever the weather, the program will go on.

Large groups will be separated into smaller groups of 10 or fewer participants. Each group of 10 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone. Minimum to register is 10 scouts, plus 1 free chaperone, or $50.   Preregistration is Required.
