Snooze at the Zoo - Naturalist Badge

Webelos Scouts - here is your chance to earn your Naturalist Badge and sleep at the Zoo!

You will spend the night at the Zoo-a time when everyone else has gone home (except the animals). Scouts will earn their Naturalist badge as they rotate through exciting activities. Such activities include scouts and adult leaders experiencing Missouri wildlife first hand in our Live Animal Encounter, create a Missouri food web in "Crazy Connections," complete a flashlight scavenger hunt through the Herpetarium, and much more!

The evening portion of overnight programs includes an evening pizza snack (with a soft drink), rotations through five exciting activities and our famous night hike. The morning portion of the overnight adventure includes a continental breakfast, a conservation litter patrol during our morning hike around Zoo grounds, a souvenir Zoo patch and glow-in-the-dark overnight cup!
