Nature Committee Meeting: Beyond the Badge: Programs, Projects, & Partnerships.

Description

Located within IPRA's Recreation (REC) Section, the Nature Committee consists of a group of professionals that specialize or work in and around nature centers and nature programming. Don't work at a nature center? Don't worry, we still have so much to offer to any program working to include nature into its recreational offerings.  If you are interested in joining the committee or simply wish to attend for educational and networking purposes, you are encouraged to register.

How can parks and nature centers create meaningful opportunities for Scouts beyond traditional badge programs? Join the IPRA Nature Committee to share ideas and experiences related to Scout programming, volunteer opportunities, conservation projects, and Eagle Scout and Gold Award projects. We’ll explore successful partnerships, common challenges, and practical ways to connect Scouts with nature and stewardship.

Come prepared to share what your agency is doing, exchange ideas with fellow parks and recreation professionals, and discover new ways to connect Scouts with the outdoors and their local natural areas.

Virtual Attendance Option:  This meeting will also be shared on Zoom.  Links will be sent out to all registrants the day prior.
