Program Possibilities: Your troop can plan day trips to local places of interest, such as the University of South Alabama, Mobile Museum of Art, Exploreum, Bellingrath Gardens, the beaches, the local train stations or even a troop shopping spree - and use the Earline Locke Volunteer Center to spend the night after your day of fun and adventure.

And while there is a fire ring outside the facility, open fires are not allowed due to city fire codes. Charcoal and/or propane fuels are allowed, but grills are not provided.
