Scouts
Looking for a unique scout program that meets your badge and activity requirements? Bring your troop out to Primrose!
Our scout programs are one hour long and can be offered Monday to Saturday at your troops’ convenience. The fee per scout is $5 for residents and $7 for nonresidents. To receive this rate, groups must bring a minimum of 10 scouts. Depending on the program, Primrose can accommodate up to 50 scouts at a time. Troop leaders are free; parents and siblings over the age of 2 are also required to pay the scout rate.
Want to add something special for your scouts? For only $2 per scout, we can provide a private 30 minute tractor-drawn wagon ride around the fields and fencerows. A great opportunity to unwind before wrapping up!
For more details or to schedule your program, call 630-513-4370.
