Scout Programs at Blue Hills Trailside Museum
With four locations to choose from, Metro South offers scouts a variety of exploration for Scout troops including animal exhibits at Blue Hills Trailside Museum in Milton, forests of Moose Hill in Sharon, the wetlands of Stony Brook in Norfolk, and the indoor and outdoor art experiences at the Museum of American Bird Art Education Center in Canton. Our programs allow Scouts to work together to gain appreciation for the natural world.
