GIRL SCOUTS
Girl Scout Saturdays
Come and use all your senses to explore the natural world! Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts can work towards their try-its and badges at the Museum. Programs take place both inside the Museum and outside on our nature trail, so scouts should dress appropriately for the weather – rain or shine. Groups can choose from the following topics:
Brownie Try-It Options:
Plants
Senses
Earth and Sky
Outdoor Adventurer
Junior Badge Options:
Weather Watch
Science Sleuth
Earth Connections
Outdoor Creativity
Time: Choose either 10 - 11:30 a.m. or 1 - 2:30 p.m.
Cost: $10 per scout; $7 per adult.
There is a minimum of seven and maximum of 15 scouts (may be in combination with other groups). To maximize scout participation in the programs, no more than one adult per five scouts may attend. Other adults are welcome to stay and enjoy the Museum exhibits with paid admission or proof of membership.
Girl Scout Overnights
Spend a night at the Museum and slumber near the dinosaurs, shell gallery, or African watering hole. Scouts tour exhibits, explore the Nature Nook, and participate in crafts and activities during the evening while working toward a designated badge within a specific theme (see below). Enjoy an evening snack and watch a nature film before changing into pajamas for “lights out” at 10 p.m. A light breakfast is provided.
Girl Scout Overnight Badges
Brownies: Animals; Hobbies; Eco Explorers; Science in Action.
Juniors: Wildlife; Collecting Hobbies; Water Wonders.
Space Explorers (Brownies) and Sky Search (Juniors) are available from October through February only.
Time: 6 p.m. – 8 a.m.

Girl Scout Late Nights
Unable to spend the night? Stay after hours for a Late Night. These three-hour programs include the same evening activities as the Overnights but without the sleepover. The Late Night themes are the same as for Overnights. An evening snack is provided.
Time: 6 – 9 p.m.
Cost: $15 per scout; $5 per adult. Minimum total cost of $225.
