SCOUT
OVERNIGHTS! |
A fun filled evening with the museum to yourself,
|
What sorts of activities will we do?
 Your choice! Every overnight is different - check out our program options on our Girl Scout Programs flyer, and choose 2-3 workshops focusing on art-making, science experiments, history, or culture. Some scouts pick a theme and leave the details up to us, while others are very specific about what they want to do. The sky is the limit! You can mix and match varied activities, or have an evening based on one theme, such as a night of creative art-making and expression, a night about what it’s like to live in the 1800s, or we can  learn about ecology and do science experiments. We’ll combine activities to form a great evening for your troop.
