Philly Zoo Bus Trip

A day visit with fellow Girl Scouts and/or family to the beautiful Philadelphia Zoo on this school bus field trip. Have you seen the innovation of Zoo360- when you move around the zoo, the zoo moves around you? Zoo360 currently consists of five trails: Gorilla Treeway, Treetop Trail, Great Ape Trail, Big Cat Crossing, Meerkat Maze and Water is Life. The trails link existing animal habitats, so animals with similar habitat requirements can use one another’s spaces in a time-sharing system and take advantage of more room to roam. There will be special learning opportunities set up for our Girl Scouts as part of our group visit as well. Here’s your chance to experience one of the largest zoos in the world in 2023 and home to about 2,440 animals. Bus to leave from Ocean Service Center, Toms River. Hurry to sign up as only 50 spots available!

Date: Sunday, April 21, 2024 • 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM

Location: Ocean Service Center, Toms River (Pick-up and Drop-off Location)

Girl Scouts Celebrate Earth Day

As Girl Scouts following the Girl Scout Law, this event is to help girls learn about using resources wisely and making the world a better place. Not only will you learn how you have the power to take action to help save our earth, but we will also start an herb garden to take home. Lastly, although you will make a recycled toilet paper roll person at this event you ALSO have the option to create an art piece (google recycled art images) at home using “mostly” recycled materials to bring to the event for our GSJS

EARTH DAY RECYLCED ART COMPETITION. Fellow Girl Scouts in attendance will judge the recycled art projects on creativity, their favorites, use of materials (more points for using more than one recycled thing) and other winning qualities. Winning projects will be displayed at both of our Council stores and on our Council Facebook page.

Date: Monday, April 22, 2024 • 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
