This special program is offered Saturdays, June 15, July 27, and August 10, 2024. We invite Scouts BSA youth to enroll and earn their Oceanography Merit Badge through attendance at one of three classes held on three Saturdays at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. Classes will run 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Scouts must complete one class to earn their Oceanography Merit Badge. The program gives local scouting youth the opportunity to more deeply explore the ocean that is so integral to the San Diego community. By combining field work, laboratory observation, and scholarly discussion, Oceanography Merit Badge Days at the Maritime Museum of San Diego allow scouts to become fully immersed in the multiple branches of oceanographic research. Tickets are $54.00 per participating scout and $24.00 per accompanying adult and includes general admission to explore the Maritime Museum of San Diego after class.
