Handicraft

The Handicraft Area is Wente Scout Reservation’s center for the fine arts. Here a Scout can fulfill the classic notion of bringing home something he has made himself. The kits needed for many of the Handicraft Badges can be purchased in the Al Robinson Tradin’ Post in the Admin Building or the Elaine Robinson Tradin’ Post Annex in the Handicraft building.
