Webelos at Lincoln Caverns: Cub Scouts Take an Underground Classroom.
For more than three decades Lincoln Caverns has hosted Cub Scout groups, offering Webelos programs that pair hands-on learning with guided exploration. Programs run year-round in the site’s Indoor Learning Center and event dates are structured for smaller troops; each scheduled program begins with a pre-tour session on cave conservation and concludes with a cavern tour designed for scouts and their leaders. Advance registration is required, and registration closes ten days before the event or when an event reaches capacity.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Cave Conservation Primer
Every Webelos program includes a pre-tour classroom session focused on cave conservation—an interactive introduction that frames the field trip as both a stewardship lesson and a scouting achievement opportunity.
Guided Cavern Tour
After the indoor session scouts move into the caverns for a guided tour that translates the conservation talk into real-world context beneath the surface.
Patches, Pins and Scout Camaraderie
Event dates bring together Cub Scouts from Pennsylvania and neighboring states, giving participants the chance to earn special patches and adventure pins tied to the program themes.
What the day feels like
How the day (or two) unfolds
Programs run as focused, scout-centered events: groups gather for an indoor learning session on cave stewardship before moving into the caverns with guides. Depending on the event format—one or two days—scouts follow the planned curriculum and tours while leaders and registered parents supervise; special pins and patches are awarded on the scheduled event dates.
