Scout Night

A Special night just for Boy and Girl Scouts! Take part in special activities available ONLY on Scout Night. Activities will meet a variety of requirements for different badges or other insignia. We have activities available for all different levels of both the Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs. Bring your Scouts and explore our newly expanded and renovated Science Center, featuring hundreds of new exhibits, and work on those scout project requirements while you're at it. Please note that no single badge will be completed with the activities featured on Scout Night - we aim to help with the more difficult activities and let you finish up the easier activities on your own. No preregistration required. From 5-8pm special scout admission: Non-member scouts $10.00 , adults $4.00.  Member scout $5.00, adults $FreeMinimum one adult per 5 scouts.
