The event will feature two sessions: a morning session from 9 am to noon and an afternoon session from 1 to 4 pm. Participants must register in advance due to limited space.

Scout Day offers programming that typically fulfills badge requirements, although additional activities may be necessary. The class options include:

- Textile Artist - Senior Girl Scout Badge: Participants will explore textile arts by meeting artists and creating a project inspired by their interests. This class also accommodates up to six students per session.

- Social Butterfly and Playing the Past - Junior Girl Scout/Cub Scout: Attendees will practice good manners in social settings, enhancing their confidence and ease. This class can host up to 20 students per session.

The Manitowoc County Historical Society is located in Eastern Wisconsin's Ice Age Kettle Moraine countryside. It operates as a living history museum with over 25 historic buildings furnished with period items from early settlers of Manitowoc County. Pinecrest Historical Village began in 1970 through a land donation from the Hugo and Eleanor Vetting family, representing a small Wisconsin community from the early 1900s.
