Scout Chemistry Merit Badge Day is an event designed to provide area boy and girl scouts with an opportunity to earn a merit badge in Chemistry.  The day combines hands-on activities, question and answer sessions with chemists and chemistry students, and at-home projects to expose scouts to the various aspects of the natural sciences.  Scouts will be asked to complete several tasks at home prior to the day of the event.  They will also be expected to think about common problems in chemistry and answer several questions on a worksheet to prepare them for Badge Day. 

Each scout is responsible for the $5 registration fee, which allows us to provide lunch and snacks for scouts and their parents or troop leaders accompanying them on the day of the event.  Registration fees are due by Friday, November 23rd to:

Allison Brown
Department of Chemistry
Michigan State University
East Lansing, MI 48824

We really appreciate your interest and participation in this event, and if you have any questions or concerns, please email acswic@chemistry.msu.edu with the subject entitled “Scout Day.”
