We offer a wide range of program options to help your scouts work on badge and patch requirements. From Camp-Ins and Badge Workshops to special scout days, we have you covered. 

Teacher Workshops

We provide several summer workshops where teachers learn how to bring the fun of Discovery Center into their classrooms. Find out more in teacher workshops.

Summer workshops qualify for Illinois PDCs or graduate credit and provide teachers with background science understanding through stimulating STEM experiences which can be repeated in their classrooms. Check back in February for summer dates and topics.
