Badges & Achievements
The Zoo is a remarkable resource for helping Scouts of all ages earn badges and achievements. Workshops are available for both Boy and Girl Scouts. Thru these programs the scouts will learn about plants, endangered animals, habitats, water quality, eco-systems, the importance of recycling and much more. These fun, interactive programs provide scout troops with an in-Zoo adventure that meets most of the needs of a scouting badge/ achievement. Some requirements must be done on your own.
Workshops are for scouts and their adult leaders or chaperones. Tagalongs and siblings are not permitted to the program
