Hi everyone,

I couldn't be more excited to report back to everyone on this--we have booked a date for our overnight at the PHILADELPHIA ZOO! Troop 40212 will be overnighting at the Philly Zoo (for you non-eastern PA natives, that's what we call it) on JULY 23RD. As part of our package, we will be earning a badge, sleeping overnight in one of the zoo classrooms, and get free parking and free admission the next day, July 24th. 

As for that nitty-gritty cost thing: The cost is $60 per person, adults and kids alike. We need a minimum of 20. We also need quite a few drivers. This is how we are going to divvy up costs--I am going to ask Jess to figure out how much of each girl's fall product sales and cookie sales came back to the troop. If your girl brought in $60 to our troop, then the only thing you would be responsible for is your admission if you (the parent) want to go. If your daughter is shy of the $60, then we will be asking you to make up the difference. We may also do another money-earning activity, as some portion of our troop participated in the two product sales. So please plan on coming out and helping if we do another money-earning activity and you would like to join in on this really cool trip.

If you are on the fence: Philadelphia Zoo is the oldest zoo in the country, and a pioneer in conservation programs (including the one for the Golden Lion Tamarin). We are talking 42 acres with 1300 animals, many rare and endangered. We are talking a big cat area, very endangered animals area, small mammals house, reptile house, bear country, a rebuilt primate area, etc. And if you generally consider Philly too far away to take the whole family to, this is your girl scoutin' reason to go.

 

Yours in Scouting,

Elizabeth
