Scouts
Scouting is a great way for kids to develop important character values and outdoor recreation & living skills.

At Speers-Eljabar we provide the facilities and programs to help Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops build necessary skills and values.

Scout leaders find the facilities at Speers-Eljabar the perfect place to bring their troops. Weekends spent outdoors working on badges are a breeze using Speers-Eljabar as a base location.
