Daisy After School Petal Program

Do you want an exciting after school activity for your Girl Scout Daisy troop? Come to the Zoo for an after school Daisy Petal program. Each program will include a live animal presentation as well as other fun activities designed to help you meet the criteria for your Petal.

The program will satisfy all three requirements for the Clover or Rosie Petal.

Clover Petal
We share our world with many animals that need to use the same resources we need. In this afterschool program, we will explore how to use our recourses more wisely. We will look at how to be "resourceful" and how to reuse our old things.

Rosie Petal
Would you like to make the world a better place? In this afterschool program, we will explore how we can do our part to make this world a better place by learning about the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We will look at different ways to help sustain our natural world.
