Burpee is offering In-Person and Virtual and Merit Badges
In this class, scouts will earn their Archeology Merit Badge. Scouts will learn about archaeology from our registered Archaeology Merit Badge Counselors in this hands-on workshop. Online classes use virtual reality to explore the museums exhibits and Collections, participate in a simulated archaeological dig, see and handle Native American artifacts and learn about a local Native American tribe. In-person participants will examine real artifacts and head behind the scenes to see real artifacts from our collections!
