Scout Island is located in Fresno, California and serves as an educational center for children of the central valley. Schools bring bus loads of children each week to experience hands on learning about the life-giving San Joaquin River that runs through the island on its trip through the valley. Fun and interactive activities allow children to learn as they play. Children use nets to capture river tadpoles and other aquatic life then view their catch under a magnifying microscopes, go on nature hikes to search out animal tracks, and end with a nature focused scavenger hunt. Scout Island makes nature education fun for the young and young at heart.
