4th Annual Oceanography Merit Badge Days

We invite Scouts BSA youth to enroll and earn their Oceanography Merit Badge through attendance at one of three classes held on three Saturdays, July 15, 29, and August 12, 2023 at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. Classes will run 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 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.

Each scout or group of scouts are required to be accompanied by a parent or adult chaperone. All Scouts BSA Youth Protection guidelines must be followed at any event with registered Scouts present.

Requirements:

Contact your troop leader about procuring your Oceanography Merit Badge, before your class date, and bring your Blue Card, signed by your troop leader.

Each scout or group of scouts, needs at least one adult leader in attendance.

For more than 20 years, the Maritime Museum of San Diego has hosted highly popular and award-winning year-round educational events for hundreds of educators looking for exceptional, educational, and experiential programming for youth programs and students.
