Scout Visits

Work towards your space science badge with a visit to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center!

Our educators can help your Girl Scout, Boy Scout, and Cub Scout troop fulfill the requirements for your astronomy and space science badges in a few different ways:

• Group Visit

  A visit to the Discovery Center during our regular operating hours can help get you started towards earning your badge! Group general admission rates ($10 per person) are available for groups of 15 or more people. Our Tonight’s Sky planetarium show is a great way to meet more badge requirements, and planetarium shows can be added to your general admission for $7 per person.
  

• Night at the Museum

  Bring your Scout Troop to the Discovery Center for a special, exclusive Night at the Museum! Your Scouts, their parents, and troop leaders will have the museum all to yourselves from 4:30 - 9:30 p.m. This Scout nighttime STEM adventure includes a Tonight’s Sky planetarium show, a scavenger hunt, exploration of the entire museum, a two-hour badge workshop, and a pizza dinner! The cost is $35 per attendee; we require a 15-participant minimum (or $525 minimum charge) to book this program.

Please note: The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center does not provide the official badges, nor do our educators certify that all badge requirements have been fulfilled.
