Shedd Scouts: Aquarium Observer

A zebra shark in Wild Reef twists its long body to propel itself through the water.

Meet aquatic animals and get hands-on with games and activities during these special workshops, inspired by the Daisy Girl Scout Animal Observer badge. Every Scout will leave with a one-of-a-kind Shedd Aquarium patch. Together, we will answer the question, “What can we learn from observing animals and their habitats?”
