Treat your troop to a raptor learning adventure!
The Raptor Center offers programs for Girl Scouts of all ages. The programs are an exciting learning experience that your scouts will never forget. Your group will explore the various raptors found in Minnesota and their role in the ecosystem. Girl Scouts will learn about the positive and negative impacts humans have on our environment and be inspired by some of our greatest environmental success stories, such as those of the peregrine falcon and the bald eagle. Scouts will leave feeling inspired and empowered, having learned specific things they can do to protect raptors and the environment.
Each program includes
- At least one raptor education specialist
- At least three raptors, including an eagle, hawk, owl, or falcon
- Hands-on teaching tools such as feathers, wings, skulls, and feet
- An official Raptor Center Red-Tail Trail Patch for each scout (available only from The Raptor Center/$2.50 per patch)
