Come explore the exciting and sometimes dramatic world of bugs at the Indianapolis Zoo. Girl Scout Brownies learn about the benefits of these animals through games, crafts, and participating in a theater performance about these small but important creatures.
Do you know what it takes to care for a pet? Whether you have a pet or not you will learn all about what you need to care for an animal as well as see how the Zoo cares for their animals. Through crafts, behind-the-scenes tours and other activities at the Zoo you will create your own pet care manual while earning your Brownie Pets badge.
Ever wondered why we have five senses? We use them every day, but in this badge, your girl scouts will put their senses to the ULTIMATE test! Don’t worry; we have items that will help you develop super senses for the evening. Your scouts will smell your way through “food” items, just like some ocean animals do. We will play a game with your ears, and strap on some “new” eyes to see the world differently. We will even take a look at our Deserts Dome to see how the animals use their senses.
