Girl Scouts will explore nature and the Zoo while working towards their scouting goals. During the program scouts will participate with hands on activities and special guided Zoo walks. Day Scout programs are designed to assist Girl Scouts with reaching their scouting goals and may only complete portions of the requirements for Badges or Journeys.
Join us for a Day Scout program designed for all ages! Participants will learn about the needs of animals and how they are cared for at the Zoo. During the program, attendees will have the opportunity to meet one of our Ambassador Animals and discover their specific care requirements. While this program is not directly associated with any particular badge or journey, it can help fulfill requirements related to animals, animal care, animal careers, and zoos.
Participants of these programs will earn a special Indianapolis Zoo Girl Scout Patch.
