Description: Boy Scout Day at Dinosaur Ridge is an opportunity for Scouts at all levels to satisfy their science requirements for badges. These badges include the Earth Rocks and Digging into the Past Adventure badges at the Cub and Webelo levels, and the Geology Merit Badge at the Boy Scout level. These awards are available through the Boy Scouts of America and not the Friends of Dinosaur Ridge. More than 80 earth scientists and other volunteers, including certified Merit Badge Counselors, assist with the event. The event takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Scout groups are encouraged to pre-register. Cub Scouts and Webelos will be assigned check-in times (between 9:30 and 1) and should anticipate between two to four hours to complete their requirements, depending on their level of interest. Boy Scouts tryping for the Geology Merit Badge meet with their Merit Badge Counselor at 8:45 a.m. to be ready to start work at 9 a.m. and usually complete their work in about six hours. Note that Merit Badge candidates willbe assigned a Merit Badge Counselor prior to the event, and some work with their Merit Badge Counselors will likely be necessary either before or after the event. The general public is invited to attend this event between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. (fees apply)
Registration and fees for Scouts:
Early registration is open until April 23. After April 23, all scout and accompanying non-scout prices will raise by $1. No registrations for Boy Scout level scouts after April 23 unless your Troop can provide their own Merit Badge Counselor.
