Girl Scout Brownies Snooze at the Zoo
Call of the Wild!
If you love animals and enjoy spending the night out, then Snooze at the Zoo is an adventure you won't want to miss!
This year our theme is animal communication and we will learn all about how animals use sound, gestures, colors, and scents to "talk" to one another. Throughout the night you will become animals who have to communicate to each other!
Overnight evening activities will include a live animal encounter, rotations through two exciting activities, an evening pizza snack (with a soft drink), and a night hike around Zoo grounds which includes a flashlight tour of the Herpetarium. The morning portion of the overnight adventure includes a continental breakfast, a morning stroll around Zoo grounds to see the animals wake up, a souvenir Zoo patch and glow-in-the-dark overnight cup!
To register, please print/complete the Snooze Registration Forms . For more information, check out Snooze FAQ's.

Do You Have a Mixed Age Group of Scouts?
If you have a scout troop/pack/den that has multiple age levels and our Snooze at the Zoo programs do not match your needs, you can schedule your own private scout overnight. When you schedule your own overnight we use the themes which we are currently offering but tailor them to match your needs. These overnights cost $35 per person and we require a minimum of 30 participants (this total includes scouts and adults) and a maximum of 60 participants.
Please contact Keri Lammering, Overnight Programs Coordinator at (314) 646-4614 or klammering@stlzoo.org for more information.
Girl Scout Brownie Badge Day Program
At these events, Brownie troops can spend a couple hours, or a leisurely day at the Zoo doing activities to earn a badge. Registered troops will receive a guide booklet upon checking in at the Zoo. The booklet will show where activity stations are located and will help you to record your experiences. Zoo Instructors will be on hand to lead or help with activities. Activity stations will be set up and can be visited anytime during the event and can be completed in any order. Brownies completing all five activities can receive their badge at the Zoo.
To register, please print the Scout Program Registration packet. For more information call the Education Department at (314) 646-4544.
