Scouting Programs

The MetroWest YMCA cannot distribute Boy or Girl Scout badges, but we do offer in-depth programs that help with the completion of many badge requirements. We can customize a program to meet the needs of your troop; whether it’s an adventure, nature or service-oriented project, we would love to help!

Some possible program topics include:
Mammals
Birds
Habitat Study
Map and Compass
Tracking
Wetlands Exploration
Outdoor Skills
‘Leave No Trace’ Ethics
Anti-Bulling And more!
