Welcome to The Health Museum’s Boy Scout program! We offer a variety of fun health and science-related badge classes to choose from.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of The Health Museum’s Scouts Programs.  We are always looking for new ways to better our Boy Scout programs, and in an effort to do this, we have formed the Museum Advisory Council for Scouts (MACS).

The MACS will consist of select members chosen through an application and review process.  Members will serve for minimum term of one (1) year but may choose to serve an additional year. Meetings will take place quarterly. At these meetings, we will discuss new scouting opportunities, new programming, special events, scout policies and other issues as needed.
