We will do our best to get back to you within 10 days of your request. Note that reservations are not confirmed until we receive payment for the minimum number scouts for a program. Please call Huntley Meadows, 703-768-2525, with questions.

Scout programs are available on both weekdays and weekends and last approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the badge requirements. Programs may be shortened due to bad weather.
