Girl Scout Animal Education Tours

Our goal is to offer Girl Scout troops a variety of hands-on learning opportunities which support the bond between humans and animals by nurturing knowledge, compassion, and respect toward all living things. Scouts can enjoy encounters with animals of all shapes and sizes while working to complete journey or badge requirements.
