Badge Days for Senior/Cadette Girl Scouts

These Badge Event Days cater to small troops who do not have the opportunity to participate in a Council sponsored program at Lincoln Caverns or have date conflicts with their Council's dates, so they can participate in a badge program with no minimum fees required. Lincoln Caverns will for the first time this year offer opportunities for troops to register directly with Lincoln Caverns and participate in the Wildlife IPP and/or Digging Thru the Past IPP during their visit.

Friday evening indoor lodging is available to participants of the Wildlife IPP program which runs from 8:45 AM - 3:30PM on Saturday of the event. A special evening Introduction to Speleology program will be presented to participants in either IPP program, followed by a unique flashlight tour of Lincoln Caverns and Whisper Rocks (6:00 PM - 8:30 PM Saturday evening). The Digging thru the Past IPP begins Sunday morning at 8:45 AM and finishes at 3:45 PM. Indoor lodging will be available for participants in the Digging thru the Past IPP.
