Several volunteer members of our Museum staff are registered counselors for the  Scouting Heritage Merit Badge.

Individuals or groups are welcome to schedule a visit specifically to work on this advancement activity.  Just by walking through the door (and reading a few exhibits), Scouts can fulfill requirements 1, 2a, 2b, 3, 4c, and part of 8.

Scouts must present a signed Blue Card, and have printed a copy of both the requirements:

and the worksheet:

They can also pick up a copy of the merit badge booklet at the Scout Store (right next door to the Museum), or preview it here:
