You’re Hired! Scouts will be newly appointed chemical engineers of the Silly Slime Co. powered by Port Discovery! They will first examine the properties and rate the quality of the Original Slime recipe. They will then make a new slime using recommendations by the company’s followers and examine the properties and rate the quality of the new Fluffy Slime recipe. They will then take their favorite of the two slimes to use as a base in creating their very own slime to put on the market by choosing additions from our mix-in bar to make it their very own.

Scouts will take home their personal slime creations including a product label they can customize in our Art Studio.

You can register for these activities by contacting Kelly L. Hawkins at 410.864.2726 or emailing scouts@portdiscovery.org.

Scout Adventures are for Girl and Cub Scouts only. We’re sorry, but siblings are not allowed unless they are part of the Scout Group registered for the Overnight Adventure.

Age Requirement: Children must be between the ages of 5 and 11 years of age.

Chaperones: We encourage as much chaperone participation as possible but we do ask that groups do not include more adults than children.

Can I add additional children and adults after initial registration? It may be possible to add more children and adults to your registration provided the Overnight Adventure is not sold out.  All add ons must be made by the Leader in Charge.

Are refunds provided if a member of my group cannot attend? Once a registration is confirmed, refunds are not granted. If someone in your group cannot attend the program, you may substitute another member of your troop or pack. Adults can be substituted for children and vice versa.
