Cub Scouts Academics Pin for Geography
December 9, 2014 |
This fall Macculloch Hall Historical Museum (MHHM) will offer two programs for Cub Scouts.
In November MHHM will host two opportunities for Cub Scouts to earn their Academics Pin for Geography Tuesday, November 11th or Tuesday, December 9th 2014 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. Scouts will begin by mapping out the state of New Jersey, marking key geographic features and major cities. In small groups, Scouts will build 3-D models in clay of one of the geographic areas of the Garden State. The hands-on study of maps will expand as Scouts trace the routes of two famous explorers from the past. Next the Scouts will look at members of the family who lived at Macculloch Hall and use current satellite views on the web to identify locations where they lived before, during, and after the Civil War. The program at the museum concludes with a floor-size game board testing the Scouts on facts and terms they have learned about geography, New Jersey and the Civil War. Pre-registration is required, call (973) 538-2404 ext. 16 or email cwinslow@maccullochhall.org. The cost for the program is $8 per Scout and $6 per adult. Maximum group size is 15
participants.
