Bring your Girl Scout "flock" to experience one of our most popular annual events with our incredible partners at the National Aviary.

Through hands-on activities and up-close animal experiences that help girls work toward art and animal badges. Girls will meet our bird experts, investigate how to keep pet birds happy and healthy at home, and learn about ornithological research (the study of birds) and bird conservation around the world.

This open-house style special event will be ran by staff and volunteers from The National Aviary, as well as staff from GSWPA.

Activities include: expert-led talks, the chance to meet birds up-close at an Animal Ambassador Meet & Greet, special Girl Scout educational and craft activities, and tons of fun through daily activities offered by the National Aviary!

Attendees will receive a fun patch.

Please Note: Activities and program experiences are limited to registered Girl Scouts and their chaperones due to capacity in our teaching spaces. Siblings and other family members are welcome to attend and explore the Aviary with a general admission ticket purchased at the main entrance.

Please ensure that each Girl Scout is either in troop ratio or has one caregiver with them throughout all program experiences. If a sibling or additional family member is attending, please plan to have enough adults present so that the Girl Scout can participate in the program with supervision, while the sibling(s)/other caregiver explores the Aviary.

Non-Member registrations are turned off in order to allow ample space for our Girl Scouts during the program. However, if you are a caregiver who will be supervising your Girl Scout and you do not have a membership, please contact Customer Care to get registered.
