Your Webelos Scouts won’t want to miss this all-new overnight opportunity to study our natural world and explore Sloan’s exhibit “CSI: Crime Scene Insects.” Boys will discover all about insects, birds, and plants while working on their Naturalist Badge. Learn what owls eat for dinner by dissecting owl pellets and identifying the bones, watch bugs come alive in our “insect zoo,” and build a terrarium you will never have to water.
