Scout Badge Evenings

Get ready to join us on a fun-filled evening of engaging activities and Museum exploration focused on fulfilling badge requirements. Our skilled instructors follow BSA and GSUSA requirements for scouting levels in grades 1-6. Most or all of the requirements are completed during the evening. Packets are sent home with leaders to complete requirements, if needed. Fee includes supplies, instructors, and admission into the Museum for participants.
