scout programs
We spark curiosity in Scouts with science programs that make earning achievements an amazing experience. Each adventure is designed to inspire exploration, perfect for both Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Scouting is an exciting hands-on learning journey
Discovery Center Museum makes it even more fun! Our programs help Scouts earn achievements and dive into science through engaging workshops, overnight adventures, and self-guided tours. Along the way, they’ll build teamwork and problem-solving skills, creating unforgettable experiences that shape confident, capable individuals.

Registration must be complete prior to one week before your Camp-In.
What is the price for a Camp-In? $50/person (includes children and adults).
What is the recommended age for Camp-Ins? We ask that all camp-in guests be ages 5 and up. Our camp-in activities are best suited for ages 6-12.

What times do camp-ins start and finish? Check-in begins at 6:30 pm, and departure is at 8:30 am.
I have a child who is not comfortable/able to sleep away from home. Can we still attend a camp-in? Absolutely! Of course, we want our scouts to get the most out of their experience with us. However, we are more than happy to accommodate families that need to leave a camp-in before lights-out. Simply let our staff know about your request to leave early when you check in for your camp-in.
Where would we sleep during a camp-in? You would sleep right in our museum! Families and troops can spread out and choose which exhibit they would like to sleep in.
Is there a place for C-Pap machines to plug in overnight? Yes, we have a designated sleeping area in the Museum for C-Pap machines.
Is there a place where we can refrigerate medications that need to stay cold? Yes, we can refrigerate medications for you during your stay. Simply let our staff know that you need your medications to be stored in a fridge when you check in for your camp-in.
Is dinner provided? Dinner is not provided, though we do offer an evening snack. We recommend eating dinner before you arrive so you can be ready to play!
My child has special dietary needs or allergies. How do we share these with Discovery Center staff? We will send out a Google Form a few weeks before your camp-in, where you can provide allergy and dietary information. We cannot guarantee that we can accommodate all dietary requirements, but we will do our best to provide food that will be safe for your group.
Are tickets refundable? Camp-in tickets are not refundable unless there is an illness or personal emergency. However, you are free to give your ticket to another member of your group.
Do I need to pay for parking? No! Our parking lot is large and completely free.
