Scouts at the Zoo

Hosted by the Heart O’ Texas District of Scouting America

Join us for an exciting day of adventure, learning, and exploration at Cameron Park Zoo! Scouts at the Zoo is a unique program designed to combine the excitement of Scouting with hands-on wildlife education and outdoor fun.

Throughout the event, Scouts and families will travel across the zoo participating in a variety of interactive stations led by volunteers, community partners, and animal education specialists. Each station will focus on different animals, habitats, conservation efforts, and outdoor skills while providing engaging activities for youth of all ages.

Event Activities Include:

Animal education and wildlife learning stations

Interactive games and team-building activities

Conservation and environmental awareness activities

Opportunities to explore zoo exhibits and animal habitats

Learning experiences connected to nature and science

Fun activities designed for Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA youth
