Brownies & Juniors: Curious Kids' Museum offers a badge-earning program for Brownies and Junior Girl Scouts. Each Scout will complete their badge in one session and badge certificates will be provided by the Museum. The Museum is proud to now have three exciting ways to go on a Badge Quest: stay overnight at the Museum with your troop and earn a badge, come for a workshop during the week or Saturday mornings with your troop, or Brownies can earn a badge during family programming on special Saturdays with their family (a perfect opportunity for Juliette scouts). The overnights are offered approximately once a month and are scheduled from Friday evening at 7:00 until Saturday morning at 8:00. The weekday workshops can be scheduled for anytime on Mondays through Thursdays and the Saturday workshops are offered approximately once a month. Troops can select which Try-It or Badge to earn from the listing below. On Wednesdays or Thursdays, one hour of museum time is available for an additional $2 per girl if the troop's arrival time is 4:00 or before.
Financial assistance is available for Badge Quests-please call for details.
Daisies: Tours of the Museum are available at the special price of $2.00 per person for one hour. Preregistration is required. A very popular field trip with the girls.
Cadettes & Seniors: Curious Kids' Museum also offers the opportunity for Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts to earn their service requirements for their Interest Projects and to earn the Museum Discovery Interest Project. Please call Patty or Loree at the Museum to discuss volunteering to help with an overnight, a workshop, or other opportunities. The museum is also willing to work with you for Silver Award and Gold Award projects.
