Local Activities

These activities are great for Cub Scouts (Grades 1-5, ages 6-10):

• Firestation - you can usually make an appointment for a brief tour of your local firestation. Kids of all ages like this.
• Newspaper printing plant - Well worth the 25 minute trip if you can arrange for a tour. The T&G printing plant has enough interesting information that Webelos Scouts are probably the best target audience.
• Lowe's of Worcester - Store #1206 (533 Lincoln Street) offers a Kids Clinic the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 AM. Sign up in advance at the customer service desk.
• Home Depot of Worcester - Store #2684 (130 Goldstar Blvd) offers a kids workshop the first Saturday of each month at 10:00 AM. Advance Sign up is not required.
• Insectarium - Ford's Hometown Services, a division of Griggs & Browne Company, Inc., at the corner of Forest and Grove Streets, houses lots of exotic bugs. With the curator's supervision, you can even pet some of them.
