Badge days are pre-arranged events for Girl Scouts, Scouts BSA, or any youth. Aimed at individual youth and small troops that focus on badge work. Classes are scheduled on Sundays each month highlighting specific badge requirements and are held at the Wildife Safari Park near Ashland, NE. Each month a different program is featured.
All Badge Day participants will meet their instructor at the Education Building located in the Wolf Woods Parking lot. Driving through the park to the Education Building can take some time so we ask that all participants arrive at the park at least 15 minutes before the class time. Fees are $20 per Scout and adults are considered chaperones. Pre-registration is required.
Contact scouts@OmahaZoo.com or (402) 738-6908 for more information.
Fee: $20/youth
Date: Scheduled Sundays from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
