Scouts Merit Badge Program

Event Description:

The Scout Merit Badge Program at the Archaeological Research Institute (ARI) offers an exciting and educational experience for scout groups interested in archaeology and local history. The program allows scouts to earn merit badges, NOVA Awards (for Cub Scouts), or STEM Career Exploration badges while engaging in hands-on activities and learning from professional archaeologists.

Throughout the program, scouts are guided and supervised by knowledgeable archaeologists who provide valuable insights, answer questions, and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. The ARI Merit Badge Program offers a unique combination of education, hands-on experiences in the field and lab, and interactive experimental archaeology, creating a memorable and enriching experience for scouts interested in history, archaeology, and cultural preservation.

To book, use the “Book Experience” option to your right. For any questions, reach out to Samy Norris at samy@exploreari.org.
