Painshill Park is one of Europe's most important landscapes, offering a huge range of educational opportunities for students of all ages to a range of topics:
Super Scouting Adventures at Painshill Park for all cubs, brownies, beavers and scouts! These activities are our suggestions for activities that can contribute towards attaing a badge.
Beavers, Cubs & Scouts:
Art Badge: Painting in the Park - Come and get inspired! Use your artistic talent to make a marvellous model of our Ruined Abbey and draw the people, animals (or monsters!) that might live there.
Adventure Badge: Camp Building - Pack provisions, plot a route and set off on your Adventure. After hiking to the western woods build bivouacs with materials from the forest floor.
Naturalist Badge: Nature Explorers - You will need eagle eyes for this badge as we track down birds and beasties then finish off with a super woodland scavenger hunt!
Navigator Badge: Pirate Bill's Treasure Hunt - Can you hunt down Pirate Bill's long lost buried treasure? Follow the treasure map, and use a compass, a tape measure and the pirate's cunning clues: you might strike gold!
Scientist Badge Part A: Fix the Wheel - Oh no, the waterwheel is broken! Can you help us fix it? Experiment with pumps, gears and models and make the wheel work.
Scientist Badge Part B: Lake Dipping - Grab your nets and discover the creatures that lurk in our lake! After collecting the watery wildlife we will take a closer look under the video microscope!
