Great Dismal Swamp Annual Birding Festival

Is your scouting council interested in acquiring Birding merit badges or learning more about our fine feathered friends? If so, we would like to recommend Chesapeake, Virginia as the location of your next scouting adventure!

The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is hosting its annual free birding festival in Chesapeake, Virginia.  Chesapeake is a convenient resource for Scouting trips and community service opportunities. The festival is strategically held during the height of the spring Neotropical songbird migration so spectators can enjoy the greatest diversity of species on the fly! The festival is free and open to the public, and includes interactive exhibits, guided bird walks, blue bird house building, and more! Vendors will be selling delicious foods, unique crafts and souvenirs.
