The Scouts should have read and reviewed the Engineering Merit Badge work before outing.  There may be some requirements that can be worked before arriving at the museum.  The scouts will work through the Merit Badge Activity book that Harley Davidson Museum has prepared (link), which helps them achieve the requirements through the Museum.  Scouts should print this activity book and bring it with them on the outing.  Scouts will also need to bring a scoutmaster-signed blue card.

Scouts register here by Wednesday, November 28

We will need chaperones to help with the driving and to assist the boys in working through the Merit Badge Activity at the museum.  We will want to divide the boys in small groups of 3-4 and have a chaperone help them stay on task while in the museum.  There will be plenty of time for you to explore the museum and all its exhibits.

Adults and leaders register here by Wednesday, November 28
