GEHC GREEN POWER PATCH

The GEHC Green Power Patch is a self-guided program for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts!

Come earn the GEHC Green Power Patch by experiencing our exhibits, nature trails, and multi-media theater. We have included some fun activities for you to complete as you explore our exhibits. Learn about the heritage of Gwinnett County and what we can do as a community to conserve our natural resources. Upon arrival at the Center, proceed to the Ticket and Information Desk to pick up a Green Power Patch booklet. This program is a self-guided program. The cost is $5 per student ($8 out of county) and includes Center admission and a patch. Once the booklet is completed, patches may be picked up at the Ticket and Information Desk.

*Rentals, special events, and special programming may limit access at certain times to the Blue Planet Theater and other exhibits that are a component of the Green Power Patch. Scout troops should ALWAYS call ahead (770.904.3513) when scheduling this program to determine availability.
