Scout Day
Saturday, April 26 from 9 am - 4 pm
Take part in a historic skill or trade with your group.
The Manitowoc County Historical Society is proud to offer programming for scouts to earn badges, petals, loops, and patches. The programing for scouts typically fulfills a badge requirement, but additional activities outside of the program may be required. Museum admission is included in the price of the program.
Each hands-on workshop will take place during a morning and afternoon session. Scouts and their families are welcome to explore the museum following their program. Space is available for lunch at the Two Creeks Town Hall.
Space is limited. Scouts should check with the individual counselors to confirm needed activities prior to registering.
Class options are listed below.
Boy Scout Metalworking Merit Badge
(The 'lab' portion of the BSA Metalworking Merit Badge with the Blacksmithing option): Discover basic smithing skills such as forging, bending, curling, twisting and annealing. Scouts will make 2 projects - a spatula and steak flipper, which satisfies the BSA MB requirements.
Maximum of 5 students per session.
Workshops will repeat for a morning and afternoon session-
Morning Session: 9 am to Noon
Afternoon Session: 1 to 4 pm
Textile Artist
Senior Girl Scout Badge: When you see all the colors and textures of fabrics and yarns, do you dream up a million things to do with them? Get ready to turn those visions into reality as you meet with artists, learn about the world of textile arts, and make a project in the craft that most inspires you to pick up your needles (or loom). Maximum of 6 students per session.
