Roll up your sleeves and discover hidden gems! Join us for a deep
dive into history and science where you will uncover the legendary
connection between pearls and the Girl Scouts-including how Juliette
Gordon Low sold her own rare pearls to fund Girl Scouts in its early
days. You'll also explore local history by learning about the famous
Concho Pearls found in San Angelo.
But the adventure doesn't
stop at history. Become an environmental scientist extraordinaire as
you explore oyster anatomy and their vital role in ocean health. The
best part? You will dissect a real oyster to recover a genuine pearl
of your very own to take home!
Note: This activity involves real oysters. Those with shellfish allergies should not participate.
Supervision level: This is a DROP OFF event, however, we require a certain number of safety-wise adults in order for the event to happen.

If enough adults are not registered by the registration close date, this event may need to be cancelled.
