Merit badge workshops are taught by qualified merit badge counselors. 
  • Merit Badge Workshops require a minimum of 10 scouts and a maximum of 24 scouts
  • Online pre-registration is required.
  • Registration is for 1 scout and 1 adult. If the adult stays, he/she is required to stay in the classroom with the scout. If adults want to tour the museum, admission is required. Additional adults and children will need to pay regular admission to utilize the facilities.
  • The program fee includes the blue card, the workshop materials and admission to THM for the participant prior to or after the workshop. Workshop fees do not include badges
  • Class A uniforms are expected in every class (with the exception to personal fitness).
  • Any requirements that need to be emailed to the merit badge counselor should be sent by the parent for youth protective reasons.
  • For requirements fulfilled before the date of the merit badge class, the student and parent/guardian should provide proof of completion and approval of requirement will be at the discretion of the merit badge counselor.
  • Requirements can be withheld from a scout due to the following:
    • Disruptive behavior
    • Non-participation
    • Incomplete requirements
    • Out of dress code
  • See class description on the THM website for any prerequisites.
  • Scouts must be present for the entire workshop to receive a signed blue card.
