Scout Programs
Be prepared for STEAM learning fun!
Fun experiences that can be customized for your group!
We are happy to provide STEAM programs that support many Badge, Pin, and Belt Loop requirements. In addition to fun experiences designed to engage your group in hands-on learning! Please see below for more information about offerings for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Our standard programs run for 90 minutes and are $25 per scout, $10 per adult and $15 per Tag-a-Long. There is a minimum of 8 scouts required to book a program.
Our programs cover some, but not all, of the requirements for a specific badge. We always include a Discovery fun patch.
Don’t see what you’re looking for? Ask us about our custom programs. We can cover topics involving engineering, ecosystems, space, forensics, and chemistry.
