"The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others."

~ Robert Baden-Powell

Dear Scout Leaders,

The Cradle of Aviation Museum has long supported local scouting programs, and through this partnership, we offer programs for every rank of Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Scouts BSA. From our youngest Daisy and Tiger Scouts to our Gold and Eagle Scouts, they can take advantage of the many scouting programs developed here at the museum. We also offer many opportunities for scouts of all ages to participate in competitions, sleepovers, and special scout camps. We guide each scout den, pack, and troop through the necessary requirements for each journey, pin, loop, achievement, elective, or merit badge, while also teaching scouts about Long Island's unique role in aviation and aerospace and the rich history Scouting has played in space exploration.

The Cradle of Aviation joins in NASA’s support of Girl Scouts and Scouting America, as part of the overall goal of engaging scouts in NASA missions and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects. All of the museum’s programs, led by screened, certified merit badge counselors, have been developed to meet this goal.

For more information or to make a reservation, please call (516) 572-4066 (Mon-Fri, 9:30-4:00) or use the contact form below.
