Frequently Asked Questions for IN-PERSON Programming:
Where: We come to YOU! We travel to your private home, school, GS HQ, and even public parks for some programs.
How: Our girl scout programs San Diego are always interactive and memorable! The girls get to touch and hold our animals and be part of the program! We don't lecture and there will be no tests - just fun, hand-on learning that aligns with badges and journeys for what is required.
What's the program like? We go by the books! Our programs for the badges always follow the requirements for the badge/journey. The added benefit is we incorporate animals into ALL our programs.
Can I choose the animals? While we are open to receiving requests, our programs have pre-determined animals that align with the content of the program. Please let us know if there's any animals that you would NOT want to come at the time of booking.
Mixed Troops: We can combine some badge programs but we do not combine Journey in a day programs.
Split Sessions: We cannot provide split/multiple sessions for journey or badge programs.
