SCOUT TROOPS

Destination 1840

Earthshine hosts an environment that makes earning badges both educational and fun! Most older troops (grade 6 and above) prefer the SUCCESS program as they seek their high adventure badges. Destination 1840! seems to suit the younger ones the best. We can modify SUCCESS for 4th and 5th graders and we have done Destination 1840! with older scouts. Earth Explorers is good for those younger scouts who are pursuing environmental badges.




Our programs have contributed to scouts
getting badges in the following areas:

• Environment/Ecology
• Wildlife
• Earth is Our Home
• Conflict Resolution
• Celebrating People/World Neighbors
• Listening to the Past
• Creative Solutions
• Hiking
• Outdoor Survival
• Orienteering
• Understanding Yourself and Others
• High Adventure
• Citizenship
• Nature
• Indian skills

Earthshine has served more than 46,300 children in our Outdoor Education Programs since 1992. Forty seven percent of our field trips are our Destination 1840 program. What a lesson of the past those kids are learning! Since we opened our doors, Earthshine has lived in the year 1840 for 960 days (about 2 1/2 years)!
