Scout Nights: Spots and Stripes

Attention Scout leaders! Gather your group and join us for an exclusive educational experience, while you enjoy early access to Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance’s newest event: Glowing Wild. Your Scouts will become the newest recruits to the Zoo’s fictional Animal Academy, where they will complete missions to earn their “spots and stripes” patch!

From 5:00–6:15 p.m., Scouts will enjoy hands-on learning with science-based challenges, up-close encounters with animal ambassadors, and a lantern-themed craft. Afterwards, they’ll gain early access to Glowing Wild to explore on their own!
