Scout Programs

The David Davis Mansion currently hosts two events for Girl Scouts and Friends each year, as well as the opportunity to earn various badges as a troop on a special trip to the mansion.

 

Children’s Gardening Program

  • $20 per child
  • Open to all kids, 7 and up
  • All participating Girl Scouts take home a gardening fun patch
  • Junior Girl Scouts earn their Flowers, Gardening, and Playing the Past badges
  • This is a drop-off program only

 

Join us at the David Davis Mansion in August for a morning all about gardening. Take a special tour of Sarah Davis' heirloom garden, learn how plants and flowers grow, discover how to plant and collect seeds, visit with some pollinators, make some flower-related art projects, write in flower code, and more. You'll also have a chance to tour the mansion and visit with Sarah Davis herself!

 

It is not a requirement that attending children be Girl Scouts, so feel free to invite your friends!
