Ed-Zoo-Cate Program


Ed-Zoo-Cate-Billings


Budding zoologists can get an insider's look at Zoo Montana's animals and exhibits by participating in our interactive Ed-Zoo-Cate program. They'll meet like-minded girls and experts who'll offer interesting facts about animal care, habitats, and receive a visit from some of the animal inhabitants!
The goal of the program is to connect Girl Scouts with nature by enhancing their understanding and appreciation for the wonderful diversity of nature and the animals that thrive there.
It's Your Story-Tell It! Journey book '5 Flowers, 4 Stories, 3 Cheers for Animals' encourages networking with your community and this is a great animal connection to make! Brownies this is also an opportunity to identify a community place where you can Take Action and work towards the Take Action Key in the Brownie Quest Journey.
After the Ed-Zoo-Cate program your registration fee also allows you to tour the 70 acre zoological park which has a unique and interesting collection of approximately 50% exotic and 50% native species.
Since this is a winter program, space is limited for girls and supervising adults. Supervising adults must register at the GSMW office or online to receive the same discounted entrance fee as the girls. Unregistered adults will not be admitted to the program.

Girls you won't have to fall down the rabbit hole to have an Alice in Wonderland like tea party. Join the Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming and volunteers from the High Plains Women's Museum as we learn proper tea etiquette and enjoy a tasty treat. Once the tea cups are cleared the creativity begins!
Hats will be provided and Lorraine, The Hat Lady of Billings, will give you history and share stories about the hats she has in her extensive collection, which is a popular feature at the museum.
Daisies, this is a great opportunity to work on the Zinnie, Considerate and Caring Petal which is featured in the Daisy Girl's Guide and the Art of Sharing insert.
Hearing the stories from Lorraine and the museum volunteers may inspire Brownies that are exploring the World of Girls Journey for ideas on how they can make their world better. Brownies working through Brownie Quest may reveal a special quality or talent that leads to the Discover Key award.

Welcome Everyone!

Hey Girl Scouts and Family! I'm making this blog in hopes to make this easier for everyone to find what's going on with our troop and maybe even save some paper. A quick look around as I'm getting it set up, meeting dates are on a tab up top along with up coming council programs including ice skating.
