The Westerly Land Trust is excited to offer engaging outdoor opportunities designed for Girl Scouts! Through hands-on experiences on WLT preserves, Scouts will explore the outdoors, build practical skills, and grow as environmental stewards.  From guided hikes and hands-on nature activities, these programs offer fun, meaningful experiences that support a variety of Girl Scout badges.

Programs for your Troop: Interested in a Girl Scout adventure? Whether you’re looking to earn a badge in hiking, trail reading, birding, or plant, tree, and mushroom identification—or even create your own patch—we’re here to help! Let’s work together to find the perfect program for your troop and get outside to explore the wonders of the wild. Contact our Conservation Programs Manager, Lauren, at lbarber@westerlylandtrust.org to start planning your next adventure.

Upcoming Programs through Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England: This fall 2025, we are offering Trail Blazing for Scouts to work towards or earn their Trail Adventure and Environmental Stewardship badges.

Trail Blazing with Westerly Land Trust

Lace up your hiking boots and get ready to explore the great outdoors! This exciting, hands-on program helps Girl Scouts work towards or earn their Trail Adventure and Environmental Stewardship badges by diving deep into the world of trail reading, tree identification, and native plant knowledge. Girl Scouts will learn essential hiking skills, including how to read trail maps, follow trail markers, and plan safe and enjoyable hikes. Along the way, they’ll discover how to identify common trees and local plant species using field guides and observation techniques. With a focus on outdoor safety, environmental awareness, and nature appreciation, this program encourages Scouts to become confident, capable stewards of the natural world. Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors will take a deeper dive into the material, building on their existing knowledge and skills. $10 Per Participant
