Scout Badge Programs

Want a unique, fun place for your scouts to work on their badges? We offer a variety of badge programs for girl scouts.  Scouts will earn their badges through educational hands-on activities, meeting some live animals, and getting creative with some make-and-take crafts!

Scout programs are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a maximum of 25 scouts and a minimum of ten scouts per program. Groups exceeding the 25 scout maximum may split their group and book two programs on the same day. Fees and time lengths vary depending on program option. Prices for the programs do not include admission to the Zoo, however admission is required to get into the area where the programs will be held. The Zoo does not provide the badges. 

Scheduling a Program

If you would like to schedule a scout badge program for your group, please complete the following steps:

1.  Choose a program from the list at Girl Scout Badge Programs 

2.  Contact the Zoo's Education Department at 336.879.7719 or email your request with two to three dates that work for your group.

3.  Once your program is booked, you will receive a confirmation letter providing details for purchasing admission tickets.  Discounts may be available for scout groups making reservations two or more weeks in advance.
