Scouts

Classes follow the same guidelines as the BSA and Girl Scouts, as applicable, and are generally based on the grade that the Scout will be attending in the fall.

Scout classes are designed for boys or girls who are interested in the topic and can be attended by any child in the correct age range for the class.

• Scouts BSA: 6^th grade – 17 years old:
• Webelos: 4^th – 5^th grade;
• Bears: 3^rd grade;
• Wolves: 2^nd grade,
• Tigers: 1^st grade
• Girl Scouts:  Daisy: K – 1^st grade;
• Brownies: 2^nd – 3^rd grade;
• Juniors: 4^th – 5^th grade;
• Cadettes: 6^th – 8^th grade
• Seniors:  9^th – 10^th grade

Due to the high demand for camp and class spaces, all sales will be considered final.

In the event a camp or scout class does not meet the minimum enrollment, the museum reserves the right to cancel. If a camp or class is cancelled by the Museum because it did not meet minimum enrollment, patrons will have the option to transfer to another camp or class or receive a full refund.

In the event of a camp or scout class cancellation due to inclement weather, including the period of time required to re-open the facilities after the immediate weather incident has passed, there will be no refunds or exchanges.

Other restrictions:

• Registrations are not transferable from child to child
• Patrons who cancel a camp or class or want to switch their child from one camp or class to another will receive a 50% refund of the cost of a cancelled or dropped camp or class if notification is received at least 10 business days before that camp or class is scheduled to start.
• In order to receive the 50% refund, patrons must contact the Education Department in writing. Email: summercamp@hmns.org or scouts@hmns.org.

• In the event it is necessary to send a child home due to behavior or illness, the Museum is unable to provide either a full or partial refund.
