Event Details

RiverQuest presents our first Scout Day on board the new green vessel Explorer!

Scout Day programs are 90 minutes in length and are offered a special one-day-only price.

11:00 AM Tour includes:

Brownie Girl Scout Water Everywhere! Try-it

Find out where your water originates and learn more about the world's most important renewable resource! Try your hand at "cleaning up" some "dirty" water; use real scientific equipment to sample for critters and build your own; and make startling comparisons between salt and fresh water.

Junior Girl Scout Water Wonders

Tour our working science vessels and learn about the jobs of our captains, crew and science instructors; explore the water cycle and river food chain firsthand from "the Oh, the Al and the Mon" ; enjoy a serene moment on the water to write a poem or draw a picture; and learn about bodies of water from "La Belle Riviere," the Ohio River.

Important--Chaperone Information

Each Scout must be assigned to a designated adult chaperone. One chaperone may be responsible for up to 10 students. All passengers are ticketed passengers--see ticket prices listed on this webpage.  Scouts will be grouped onboard according to age/grade level where practical.

Trips go rain or shine. In event of cancellation due to high water, reschedule date will be announced. Please see below for cancellation policy.


Cancellation Policy

RiverQuest reserves the right to postpone or reschedule this event due to dangerous weather conditions or mechanical difficulty. The boat sails rain or shine, but cannot get underway in high winds, freezing rain, dense fog, or high water/flooding. If the program is cancelled by RiverQuest, an alternative date will be scheduled.

Due to the seasonal nature and limited capacity of these trips, tickets are not refundable unless the trip is cancelled by RiverQuest.
