SCOUT PROGRAMS
Calling All Scouts!
Earn your patches here. Scouts explore programs meeting merit badge requirements through hands-on activities in the museum galleries and the Honeywell Makerspace. They can complete a single merit badge program or a combined merit badge program. All Scouts may participate in programming that highlights engineering, aviation, or weather. Girl Scouts may also book programming highlighting women in STEM, including women in aviation history, careers in aviation, and real interviews with women in the aviation industry.
* Upon completion of the scout program, groups will receive certificates of completion to verify your participation in our scout program.
