The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium will host a Scout-exclusive adventure during LHC Scouting America Zoo Day! This is your pack or troop’s chance to experience a full day of animal encounters, crafts, games, learning, and fun.
From live feedings and petting animals to engaging touch tables, enrichment activities, and educational shows, this special event is designed just for Scouting families. Scouts will also enjoy the Scavenger Hunt and Passport to Adventure Challenge, guiding them through the zoo in a fun and interactive way.
Every Scout in attendance will receive a special LHC Scouting America Zoo Day patch, and our staff will be on hand to welcome new families and help with Scout sign-ups.
Tickets: $12 per Scout, $12 per sibling, $14 per adult

Featuring Hay Rides, Climbing, and Bonfire !!!
The activities begin at 3:00 p.m.
The trail will be open from:
This year’s hike will begin at Saint Anthony Chapel on Troy Hill, move on to Saint Nicholas in Millvale (home of the world famous Maxo Vanka murals) and then progress to Immaculate Heart of Mary on Polish Hill, wrapping up with mass at Saint Patrick in the Strip District. (Saint Stanislaus Kostka will not be accessible to us this year.)
There will be a van to transport drivers from the end location back to the start location. They can then drive back to the end location to pick up their passengers.
Get ready to pre-heat the oven, pull out the cookie sheets and decorating tips, and enter The Christmas in the Camp Gingerbread House Contest. Camp Guyasuta invites scout troops, packs, and dens (sorry no individual submissions) to participate in the 5th Gingerbread House Display and Contest by building your own edible house.
All houses will be on display at Christmas in the Camp at Camp Guyasuta on Saturday, November 29 4 – 9 pm
Houses can be constructed of any safe materials.
