Pre-registration is required for merit badge classes at the Museum. You can register by calling the Education Department at 503-434-4005, or by sending an e-mail to education@sprucegoose.org.
The classes will begin promptly at 9:30am and will be completed at 3:00pm.
Scouts will need to bring a pen, paper, and blue merit badge card form.
You may want to bring a copy of the Merit Badge Aviation book (though it is not required). Also, the class will have lunch at noon, so Scouts would either pack a sack lunch, or bring money to eat in the café.
