RiverQuest Scout Day - Water Wonders/Water Everywhere (11:00 AM tour)

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.
