Scouting America Archaeology Merit Badge Program

The Center’s Archaeology Merit Badge program is arranged on a troop-by-troop basis. To arrange a workshop, the Center requires a minimum of 3 scouts, maximum of 10 scouts. Programs are held on available Saturdays from 8 AM to 1 PM.

Current requirements for an archaeology merit badge can be reviewed on Scouting America’s website. Scouts are responsible for completing the research for requirements #4a and 4b, and #8 before they show up to the Center. For requirement 4b, they will present their archaeological site at the SDAC so all research MUST be done in advance. Scouts will complete requirements 10b and 11b outside so outdoor clothing, pants, and closed toe shoes are a must. The activity for 11b is flintknapping so it is important that pants cover the top of the shoes. The remaining requirements will be covered and talked about in a series of presentations while scouts are here.

My older son has been to many ‘merit badge days’ and thought this was one of the best. – Stacey Wright
