Flying thousands of miles at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour and a mile high in the sky, monarch butterflies return annually to the same trees at the San Leandro Marina to hunker down for the winter. Learn about the life cycle and mysterious migrations of the monarch butterfly from a butterfly expert then take a short walk to see large clusters of butterflies on the Eucalyptus trees. This is one of the few places in Alameda County to witness this natural phenomenon! Wear comfortable shoes that can get a bit dirty. Bring binoculars or borrow some of ours. This is great for the Junior Get Moving Journey and Animals Habitat Badge.

A Girl Scout adult fulfilling the role of a Level 1 First Aider for a troop and/or event must complete both a CPR and a First Aid course. Please refer to the Safety Activity Checkpoints

Some offerings split this training between 2 sessions; you must attend both sessions to be certified. Please wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to spend some time sitting or lying on the floor. For a full day course it is suggested that you bring a beverage and a lunch or snack.
