Raising Reptiles is very excited to announce our new Scout Adventure Program! 🦎

Designed for Scout troops of all ages, this hands-on educational experience takes Scouts beyond the textbook and gets them up close with real reptiles while learning about animal biology, habitats, responsible care, and more.

Scouts will meet and interact with several of our amazing animals, take part in a guided learning experience, test what they’ve learned, and earn our exclusive Raising Reptiles Scout Adventure Patch when they complete the program!

Programs are available at Raising Reptiles or we can bring the experience directly to your troop.

Perfect for troop meetings, special outings, badge enrichment, and Scouts who just plain love animals.

On Sunday, we had the pleasure of being joined by Girl Scout troop 77853

We had such a blast hanging with them and bringing Hannah back to her old scouting days

They presented us with this amazing book they they made themselves. We’re completely blown away at this amazing gift. Such a sweet and talented group they have here.
