Geauga Park District announced its slate of springtime Scout Days programs and that registration is now open for all of them by phone only at 440-286-9516.

“We chose some of our more popular programs to offer for spring adventures,” said Outreach Coordinator Holly Sauder, a Boy Scouts of America merit badge counselor who oversees park programming for scouts.

All people attending, including adults, must register due to group size restrictions, and face coverings are required indoors always and outdoors whenever social distancing is not possible.

Also, attendees are asked to check each website listing before visiting in case of changes.
