Nov. 9-10, Moody Gardens
Last updated on Nov. 6
We will spend the night in the Moody Garden Aquarium and discover a world much different from our own! Discover ocean habitats, creatures that live within them, and relationships they share during our night expedition. The evening includes a variety of activities with an animal encounter and a tour of the Aquarium Pyramid.
Reservations are now closed. Contact your Den Leader if you have last-minute changes.
$50 per attendee.
All Scouts—including Lions—are now eligible to attend! We contacted Moody Gardens, and they agreed to update their policy to fit the Scouting ages. They also have expanded our group size to 150 people. We ask that Scouts and only one parent per family sign up until the October 21 Pack Meeting. After that date, all siblings (ages 5-13) may sign up, along with a 2nd parent (if you wish).
