Awe-STEM Incentives
Does your troop want to explore the Virginia Zoo after hours? How about spending the night with the animals at the Virginia Aquarium?

Note: Early renewal incentives are cumulative. If your troop has already qualified for a previous incentive, you will be automatically entered to win each additional incentive.
