Scouting

From its beginning, the Chattanooga Audubon Society has enjoyed a thriving relationship with scouting groups.  Our sanctuaries offer natural settings for learning and recreation that are close to home and easily accessible for an overnight camp out, a weekend service project, or an after-school hike.

Learning

Chattanooga Audubon is proud to offer flexible, nature-focused programming for scouting groups that can be tailored to your requirements. Possible topics also include birding, reptiles and amphibians, water quality, orienteering, and wilderness survival, among others. Please contact our Education Director, Jessica, for program reservations or for information about bringing your group to Chattanooga's oldest wildlife sanctuaries.

Service

Visitors to our sanctuaries enjoy the fruits of love and labor left by countless scouting groups who have left their mark here over the course of Chattanooga Audubon's more than 70 year history.  We are happy to provide opportunities for one-time and ongoing service projects as well as more advanced projects which would be appropriate for Eagle projects or similar requirements.  Please contact us to set up a service date at one of our sanctuaries or to receive a list of some of the more advanced projects we are currently seeking.

Camping

Camping is available for scouting groups at both Audubon Acres and Maclellan Island.  Restrooms, fire rings, and picnic tables are available.  Audubon Acres is close to home, yet a natural setting for young campers.  Maclellan Island is only accessible by water, but provides a truly unique camping experience in a true urban wilderness. 
Scouts are welcome to camp in exchange for completion of a service project or for our standard camping rate. 
  • If paying the standard camping fees, you can book sites through this link
  • ​If camping in exchange for a service project, groups must have their project approved by a Chattanooga Audubon Society staff member prior to camping and will need to provide photographs of their group completing the project. Projects may be done at the time of your camping trip or before, but not after. Please contact our office at 423-892-1499 or email us at [email protected] to discuss further.​
