WisconsinMomma 217 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hey Scouts and Scouters -- if you have been to an excellent, inspiring merit badge class, tell us all about it!!! I have heard good things about UW-Madison's Nuclear Science badge program, but we haven't experienced it yet. I am sure there are some very good classes out there, let's review them! The Greenfield, WI Fire department puts on a very good Fire Safety merit badge with a short classroom bit but lots of hands on, supervised fire extinguishing. (I know that many Scouters aren't fans of organized classes but this is NOT the place for that discussion.) Link to post Share on other sites

prof 58 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hawken, I've been trying to get my troop there for a while! Good to hear it is a good program! One of my scouts attended Fingerprinting/Crime prevention at the Indiana State Police museum on the East Side of Indianapolis. They were pretty happy with it! Prof 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Latin Scot 961 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 When I was in Scouts back in 1999, we spent a day at the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant (before it was shut down) over by Camp Pendleton. We went through the whole facility, including demonstrations of how powerful the outer shells were, the amount of energy it could generate, and more. We wore hard hats, got special badges, and completed the Atomic Energy merit badge, as it was called back then. It was the last badge I earned, and it was definitely one of my more memorable experiences in Scouting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
