Boy Scout Merit Badge Programs Boy Scout Leaders, get your merit badge requirements fulfilled here. We offer a great program for your Boy Scouts to earn their Aviation and Weather Merit Badges. Our programs include Museum Admission, Fulfillment of Badge Requirements*, Museum Patch and Tour of the Museum’s Collection of Famous Aircraft and Historic Dioramas. *Scouts should “Be Prepared”, which means they should read the Merit Badge Book and complete the Merit Badge worksheet PRIOR to arriving at the Museum. We like to emphasize that while we can help them to attain the goal, they must EARN the merit badge. The Weather Merit Badge has some requirements that must be fulfilled by the Scout on his own, apart from the Museum program. $14: Aviation OR Weather Merit Badge Programs consist of the Guided Tour (1 hr), a Hands on Activity (30 mins) and the Flight Simulator Lab (1.5 hrs). During this time our Tour Guides will ensure the various requirements are covered and reinforced throughout your visit. $21: Combine the Aviation and Weather Merit Badges together We recommend you bring a sack lunch to eat during your break.

Our Soar High Center is a Flight Simulator Lab that can accommodate 15 flight crews (30 students). Add the class for an additional $7 per person and allow 1 hour and 30 mins to your visit. Our flight instructors are not only great “Virtual” pilots, several have also instructed both military and civilian flight students in real life. They will take your students through ground school: principles of flight, map reading, cockpit instrumentation and a preflight briefing on the route of flight and flight controls familiarization. Then your students will "take flight", navigate to an airport and land the aircraft. |
