100 Years of Scouting Celebration -

The Boy Scouts of America have achieved a remarkable milestone and made many positive contributions to our communities over the past 100 years. The museum has always been a scouting favorite so to help celebrate this milestone, we are discounting our admission rates to any scout in uniform by 50%. Scouts under the age of 12 will be admitted for just $2 and those over 12 for just $3. Daily tours begin at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. _______________________________________
