Your Fun Scout is back in 2024! Thank you to everyone who reached out with messages, yes the blog is still active! I am a mom of two young kids running the blog, Facebook page and Instagram completely by myself and sometimes motherhood will take priority! But as my littles spend more time out of the house, the blog will expand to not only weekly kid’s events, birthday guides, hiking trails, playground spots, you pick farms, and destination reviews but broader topics too! Leave a message with your interests for all things family in Northern Fairfield County and surrounding areas.

This weekend is Bring Your Child to the Library day at most of our local libraries. There are a ton of extra fun activities happening to celebrate! Think donuts, caturday, scavenger hunts and much more! Do not miss the Looking Ahead section as the Valentine’s activities are filling up fast. The Princess Ball tickets are also available now, and sell out fast!

Up for a winter walk? Check out all the local hiking spots: 50+ Hiking Trails in Northern Fairfield County.

Be sure you’re following Your Fun Scout Facebook and Instagram for up to date changes and last minute pop up events.
