BROWNIES<br />
Who Pooped in the Woods<br />
EVENT<br />
Animals come in all shapes and sizes,<br />
and each has its own interesting<br />
characteristics and behaviors. Tracks,<br />
homes, droppings, feathers, and<br />
other tell-tale signs help us discover<br />
the animals that live at camp as we hike<br />
through the woods. We will explore the<br />
interconnected relationship between<br />
predator and prey and who eats whom<br />
in a fun-filled simulation game. Dig deep<br />
and find out how birds use their beaks to<br />
eat different kinds <strong>of</strong> food in an activity<br />
that’s all about birds!<br />
