This month, April 25-27, 2025 is Scout Adventure Weekend at Wild Adventures in Valdosta, GA. The event features two nights of camping, 2 days of theme park fun, unlimited soda, an all-you-can-eat buffet, a bonfire and a special patch all for under $50! My son is now in cub scouts with me and my wife as his fearless den leaders and he’s all about the badges and belt loops. It would be the great to add the special Wild Adventures patch to add to his collection, but there are so many more adventure loops and badges you can easily earn at the park, especially with the animals. One of the easiest is the Wolf Elective Adventure, “Digging in the Past” related to dinosaurs through the park’s new Dinosaur Explore attraction.

Wild Adventures New Dinosaur Explore showcases more than 30 giant animatronic dinos that will move and roar as you explore. These life-sized dinosaurs will be in their very own land where guests will be able to gaze up at a giant brachiosaurus and go eye-to-eye with a T-rex, dig for fossils, and more!

If you want to earn the “Digging in the Past” Adventure Loop at Wild Adventures it really couldn’t be easier than going through the attraction, having a couple discussions and getting an ICEE. Here’s a simple plan I’ve prepared for earning the Adventure Loop that you are welcome to use or adapt at Wild Adventures yourself.

This plan is “unofficial” and not affiliated with the park, but has been made by a fellow Georgia scout leader with best intentions to meet the requirements. I also think it’s cool that you can earn “adventure loops” at Wild Adventures. Enjoy Scout Adventure Weekend and we hope to publish several more of these that you can easily earn at the park soon!
