Archaeology Merit Badge

Burpee is offering Virtual 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 museum’s exhibits and Collections, participate in a simulated archaeological dig, see and handle Native American artifacts, and learn about a local Native American tribe.

Some requirements will need to be completed ahead of time. These requirements will be sent out before the class date.

Pre-registration & prepayment are required to attend.
