Scouting

The Houston Arboretum & Nature Center is the natural place to bring your scout group! Our 155-acre nature sanctuary offers countless opportunities for scouts to explore the natural world. With a central location inside the 610 Loop, the Nature Center is a great place to get your scouts outdoors to study nature. All of our scout programs are conducted by staff naturalists and use our nature sanctuary as a field laboratory for hands-on explorations!
