Boy Scouts

Make plans for your next Scout program at Dallas Arboretum. Many badges can be completed in our gardens by your leaders.

Boy Scout Overnights

Ready for an Overnight with your Cub Scout Pack, Scout Troop or STEM Scout Lab? Scouts can participate in the popular Arboretum Overnight activities or leaders can work with our staff to choose appropriate badges to complete. Overnights are held in the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden from 6pm–9am, with morning access to the Main Garden.

For more information, visit the Arboretum Overnight page.

Self-Guided Scout Groups

Self-guided trips are the perfect way to complete many Cub Scout Adventures!

Many Cub Scout Packs find our 66 acres are a great place for the following:
Lions: Ready, Set, Grow
Tigers: My Tiger Jungle and Tigers in the Wild
Wolves: Grow Something
Bears: Fur, Feathers, and Ferns
Webelos: Into the Woods

Includes Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden access, too!

To make a reservation, email education@dallasarboretum.org at least two weeks prior to your desired visit date. Please include your pack, troop or lab number when submitting a request.
