Girl Scout Juniors: Animal Habitats Badge & Junior Cave Explorer Patch Combo w/Optional Geocacher Badge
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind underground adventure at Lincoln Caverns! Juniors will begin with the Animal Habitats Badge program, exploring why animals live in different habitats, how we can help protect them, and what makes cave habitats so unique. Girls will learn about cave animals, create an endangered species poster, and build one bat house to take back to their community.
They’ll continue the adventure while earning the Junior Cave Explorer Patch, discovering cave animals, learning about karst landscapes, practicing caving crawls, and building important cave safety skills through hands-on activities made for curious explorers.
This weekend adventure also includes an engaging presentation on cave conservation, cave animals, and cavern formation. The highlight of the trip will be touring TWO beautiful crystal caverns! Interactive workshops help Girl Scouts complete badge and patch requirements, with indoor “slumber party” style lodging, an evening snack, and a pizza lunch included.
Optional: Add even more excitement with the Geocacher Badge. Girls will learn to use GPS coordinates, pick up geocaching terms, track a Travel Bug, create trade items, and take part in a scout-themed geocaching hunt.
