Since 2012, Museum of the Rockies has hosted Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts from around the region in its annual Scout Day event.
 
On Saturday, March 5, from 9am to 2pm, Scout Day will return once again, and it promises to be one of the most exciting ever. Scout Day 2016: Trek Through Time will focus on MOR's world-renown paleontology collections and feature the Museum's Curator of Paleontology, Jack Horner.  It will also feature MOR's two new exhibits, Across the Andes and National Geographic's 50 Greatest Photographs.

Scouts, and their families, will be able to meet Jack Horner during a special presentation about dinosaurs, and watch a custom-produced program at MOR's Taylor Planetarium. These special activities have limited seating. Tickets are required and will be available during registration.
 
Scouts will also be able to fulfill badge requirements as they participate in engaging activities, including a mock dinosaur dig, creating a constellation, playing a rock cycle game, geocaching, digital photography and more. More information is available on the Museum's website, museumoftherockies.org.

 
The first 300 scouts to register for Scout Day 2016: Trek Through Time will receive a commemorative participation patch. Pizza lunch will be available for purchase between 11am-1pm during the event.
 
Scouts from around the region, as well as non-scouts, are invited to attend. Scouts may come as a pack or troop, or individually with families.
 
Scout Day 2016: Trek Though Time is free to scouts and families who are members of MOR. Non-museum members who are active members of the Cub Scouts or Girl Scouts will receive a special discount of $6.50 per Scout and $9.50 Scout Leader. Regular MOR pricing applies for non-members who are not scouts.

 
Pre-registration is required by Friday, February 26, 2016, and late registrations will not receive program discount.  Registration fees for this program are non-refundable.
 
Scout Day 2016: Trek Though Time is presented by Museum of the Rockies in partnership with the Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming and the Boy Scouts of America, Montana Council.
