Archaeology is the scientific study of the human past by analyzing the material remains—such as tools, pottery, buildings, and other artifacts—that people left behind. It acts like a detective, using these physical clues to reconstruct how ancient cultures lived, behaved, and changed. This program is open to anyone who is interested but is recommended for youth in Scouting America as it meets most of the requirements for the Scouting America Archaeology Merit Badge. Our Education Manager is registered with Scouting America as a Merit Badge Counselor. Recommended for ages 8 and up. $12 for active participants, $7 for supervising adults. All children under the age 12 must have a supervisor age 18 or over in the room with them. Children over the age of 12 must have an adult on the premises.
