Explore Animal Homes

We know that people live in different types of places – they can live in cities or rural areas, houses or apartments, hot or cold spots, and everywhere in between. Some animals live with us in our homes. But have you ever wondered where wild animals live? Now it’s your turn to learn about the wonderful world of wildlife! As a Junior Girl Scout, you can earn the Animal Habitats badge and discover unique places animals make their homes. You’ll have a chance to make your very own animal home, learn more about endangered species, and take steps to protect wildlife. So download the FREE activity page for Junior Girl Scouts and explore where the wild things are. 

Made possible by The Elliott Wildlife Values Project.
