Cadette Scouts
Both of these two-hour badges were designed by Sycamore Hills Girl Scout Council in Tennessee. Still hands-on, these activities take on a more intense look at the care and management of horses.
Your troop can choose the Discovery: Horses or Trail Rider. If there is a specific topic your troop is interested in, we can work to accomodate your request
Discovery: Horses
The topics for this session are:
- Your approach
- Groomed to perfection
- Recognizing illness

Trail Rider
The topics for this session are:

The cost of this program is $30 per rider. The minimum number of riders for a session is six. We can accomodate troops of up to 12 riders. We ask that larger troops divide into two groups.
A deposit of $60.00 is required to hold your date. For more information or to schedule your troop, we can be contacted by email or call 248.634.7276.
