Virginia is Calling Girl Scouts
Posted by admin under: Outings; Uncategorized .
Chesapeake, Virginia is targeting Girl Scouts as a group to pull in through their tourism bureau. I received this notice in my inbox. Ordinarily I wouldn’t just post a blanket e-mail like this, but I’m digging on the fact that a town is looking to Girl Scouts to be one of their target demographics. Cool!

Are your Troops itching for some summer excitement?
Bring them to Chesapeake, Virginia, an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise and a convenient resource for Scouting badge opportunities through our ‘Get Wild’ group itinerary. ‘Get Wild’ is a three-day adventure through the wilderness of Hampton Roads, building your knowledge of nature and wildlife while having fun as a Troop.
DAY ONE – First up is our “Where the Wild Things Are” day, where you’ll visit 350 exotic animals in the Virginia Zoo. Your Troops will learn about their habitats and observe their animal instincts first hand. After your safari, learn about agricultural animals and visit a replica of a working Virginia Farm, complete with barnyard animals and educational resources.
DAY TWO – Get your “Sea Legs” so aboard the 65-foot Rudee Flipper, as your Troops learn about dolphins and examine them in their natural habitat. Follow up with an all-access pass of the Virginia Aquarium. You’ll go where no visitor has gone before and get an up-close and personal lesson on sea turtles.
DAY THREE – Wrap up the trip “Wild and Wooly” style at the Virginia Living Museum. Your Troops will learn about local wildlife at this combination wildlife park, science museum, aquarium and botanical garden. Finish up the day with some fun at the Chilled Ponds Ice Complex, skating your way to victory in a cool hockey game.
Each of these adventurous days is filled with local dining options and ways for your Troops to learn, earn badges and have fun together. For more information on how you can ‘Get Wild’ with us and additional information on our campsites or our “Scouting is Fun” program, please contact:
