Super Science Saturdays
During the Air Zoo’s Super Science Saturdays, Girl Scouts complete the requirements for a badge in one exciting day! Each Super Science Saturday is tailored for a particular Girl Scout level. Scouts will complete requirements towards badges, as well as, receive an Air Zoo fun patch! For more information view our Girl Scouts guide, or visit GSHOM.org.
In addition to our scheduled scouting activities, an online or in person program can be customized for your pack or troop!

Each troop must have a minimum of one adult present. Please review the COVID 19 policy for use of the Star Lab during Space Badge Programs.
