Sacramento Zoo Overnight Safari June 20

We’ve been invited to stay with the wild!

You may remember we tried to promote this at the start of this Scouting School Year, but the program filled up fast! Only a few Pack 1592 families were able to secure spots.

You may also have already noticed a post about this on the Pack Facebook Group. If you are interested in going, we recommend you sign up now before it fills up.

This is an opportunity to join the Sacramento Zoo on an Overnight Safari, where you can enjoy the zoo after hours, enjoy special animal encounters, and listen to all the sounds of the animals as you fall asleep.

Our Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts only Overnight is happening two times in 2025. The first date is coming up in June on Friday the 20th. Another chance is in September on Saturday the 20th.

If we wait to sign up after the summer, chances are the September event will be filled up and you might miss out. The cost is $65 per attendee.

HOW TO SIGNUP:

Register with the Sacramento Zoo Family Overnight and select “Register for a Scout Overnight Safari”
