Fun Scouting Activities | Scouting On Demand: April

• The Rock Garden - Located just an hour north of Atlanta in Calhoun, GA, this gem offers dozens of diminutive buildings, people and animals made from tiny stones, pebbles, shells, odd pieces of broken glass and china, rocks, ceramic tile, cement, wire and other materials, virtual copies of their real-life larger counterparts!  Take a picnic and enjoy the gardens and grounds!  Open daily from dawn to dusk. Free admission. https://www.exploregeorgia.org/calhoun/outdoors-nature/trails-tours/the-rock-garden

• SKY HIGH FUN!  Pack up the family and head to downtown Atlanta for the best view of the city from the SkyView Ferris Wheel!   Ride in climate-controlled gondolas, enjoy breathtaking views and feel taller than a 20 story building!  Advance ticket purchases recommended, COVID and safety restrictions apply.  Before or after, enjoy a picnic in Centennial Park! http://www.skyviewatlanta.com

• Paint your own Scouting rocks and leave them for others to find.  Not sure what supplies to use?  Grab a rock from the garden and any paint you have; and see how they work.  For some additional suggestions - https://modpodgerocksblog.com/10-painted-rocks/
