Brilliant Bugs

Bugs get a bad reputation for being pests, but they are a vital part of our ecosystem. Scouts will learn all about what makes bugs special, why our earth needs them, what kinds of homes they live in, and how as humans we can help our bug friends.

Escaping Extinction

Conservation of endangered species is a challenge in the race to beat extinction. We’re all on the same team, so let’s join forces to learn about protecting the wildlife around us. Scouts will meet real endangered or threatened animals and learn about threats to their habitats and then work together to take action for wildlife in a mini-stewardship project.

Wild About Patterns

Nature is full of amazing patterns, from the spots on a salamander to the spirals of a pinecone. Explore the science of patterns and symmetry as you discover how animals use color, shape, and patterns to survive. Meet a live animal ambassador, investigate natural history specimens, create your own jellyfish art, and search the museum for examples of bilateral and radial symmetry in nature.
