The Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum offers badge and loop programs for Scouting groups year-round! Our museum educators lead fun, interactive workshops for Girl Scouts of the USA and Scouting America.

Our program lets you complete the badge or loop of your choosing during your visit. All you need to do is have a “Show and Tell” at a meeting after your program, and purchase badges for your scouts.

Currently, programs are offered on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings and Sundays. Be mindful of the day of the week for your desired program date.

If you don’t see your desired badge listed below, we are open to creating a program for other badges if it aligns with our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) goals. And if you are involved with another scouting organization not represented, please feel free to contact us; we are open to creating programs for your badges.

For questions, more information, or to request programs for other badges, please contact our Education team at Education@mhdm.org. To book a program, please fill out the form below.
