Cub Scout Program Free admission if in uniform ... check the link!

Also I would love to have a group event at the Science Factory!! I will be looking into this for our Den!!

The Engineering Activity Pin has a set of requirements that come from Boy Scouts of America. It's a hefty one to earn and it takes about 4 hours of work. **The second Saturday of every month, we offer Webelos a chance to earn the Engineering Activity Pin. Second Saturday Scout Night's run from 3-7:30pm.** During their time here, the scouts are engaged in several different hands-on activities as they complete the requirements for the pin. The scouts receive their pins and the Den Leader also receives the Webelos Activity Badge Cards. It is up to the Den Leader or Pack Leader to fill out the Advancement Report for the scouts. The cost is $10.00/Webelos Scout. This price includes all the materials needed and the cost of the pins. Requirements (subject to change):
 * Webelos Engineering Activity Pin**

Requirement 1 (Mandatory): Talk to an engineer Requirement 2 (Mandatory): Make a floor plan And the four optional requirements are Requirement 5: Create Electricity Requirement 6: Make Circuits Requirement 8: Make a pulley system Requirement 9: Build a catapult //Each Scout and Leader then has the option for an Overnight at the Science Factory!!!!//

Thanks to our grant, the Webelos and the Webelos Leaders can come to the overnight This includes the Engineering Pin, all materials for the pin, dinner, snack, and breakfast. **However, for all of the other Cub Scouts and all of the other adults, whether leaders or not, the cost is $35 each.** Again, this will cover the costs of program supplies and dinner, snack, and breakfast. You must have a minimum of 30 group members confirmed in order to book an overnight.
