Attention all scouts!

Visit the Detroit Zoo to work toward badges, pins and awards.

Our daytime programs include a guided tour to learn
about animals and the environment in an exciting way. Daytime programs for Brownies, Junior Girl Scouts, Bears and Webelos are available. Check back in the early spring for additional offerings. Groups can schedule a program on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Price is $2 per person, plus group admission fees.

If a guided tour isn't what you had in mind, or if Saturdays don't work for your schedule, a Zoo scavenger hunt might be just what you're looking for. Included with the scavenger hunt is a unique Zoo Patch. Order your hunts and patches prior to your visit; we'll have them all ready for pick up when you arrive. Cost is only $2 per scavenger hunt!

The Zoo also has certified Merit Badge Counselors to help Boy Scouts earn their Amphibian and Reptile Merit badges. Times are flexible but some requirements must be completed prior to registration.

How about spending the night at the coolest place around? Bring your group of 20 or more for a night filled with activities, treats, tours and crafts. Groups will "camp" in the Ford Education Center. Friday and Saturday nights are available. Call soon as dates for the spring are filling fast!
